Which is better for kitchen grease?

The 3-ply pack. Its extra layer holds up better to grease and scrubbing than the 2-ply towels.

The 3-ply 12 double-roll pack has more rolls, and each double roll equals two regular rolls, so it lasts longer per pack.

Is the 3-ply worth the extra cost?

Yes if you clean heavy messes often. For light spills, the 2-ply pack does the job for less.

Do both have quarter, half and full sheets?

Yes. Both are Tear-A-Square rolls with all three sheet sizes on every roll.

Are these towels compostable?

The 3-ply pack is listed as not compostable and 0% recycled. The 2-ply pack does not state recycled content.
