Non-stick means easier cleanup, but my wife seems to think cast-iron is necessary for certain things (searing a prime rib roast, for example.).

If you have a good seasoning, it won't wash off. "Seasoning" is the process of polymerizing oil. That hardens the oil and binds it to the surface. You're more likely to burn the seasoning off or to scratch the seasoning and have it flake off than take it off with dish soap.

Whether you use soap or not, dry it on the stove and give it a light coat of oil after you clean it.
