Delta, Moen, and Kohler are all reliable brands but if money's not an option, go with Hansgrohe. They're a German company who make really elegant, functional, guaranteed products.

I would be wary of purchasing a faucet made by Kingston Brass.

Default Delta Faucets

Delta faucets have a lifetime parts and finish warranty for the original owner. They are reliable and simple to repair. If you are looking for something a little more high end, then choose Brizo which is Delta's higher end (used to be Delta Select). I work in customer service for Delta Faucets. I can honestly tell you that we care about our customers.

We've had Glacier Bay faucets in our bathroom sink for five years. Never an issue.

We paid good money for a very nice kitchen set (Peerless/Delta) about 10 years ago. Trouble within the first year and regular issues ever since. It’s been one thing after another. Replace this part. Replace that part. The warranty doesn’t cover X (fill in problem of the week). Thankfully, a new sink and faucet set are on the list of a kitchen upgrade that is currently in progress.

However … for the bathroom upgrade that is also in progress, we recently replaced yet another once pricey Kohler shower/tub set that only started to give us fits shortly before its replacement. (It was at least 15 years old, maybe a little older. And the brass finish held up beautifully for most of those years.) We bought a Kingston Brass set (from VanDyke’s). Not installed a week and problems already. Wish I'd seen this thread last year!

Can’t say this is giving me a lot of hope for or confidence in the kitchen set also from Kingston. But I’ll reserve judgment until it goes in and let you know!
