I fit a lot of Trevi valves, all well made solid brass construction.

Hans Grohe are all goos and the Aqualisa Quarts & axis digital are worth a look if you can afford them.

The Aqualisa mentioned are excellent showers, got to be the best on the market at present. I too have fitted lots of Trevi shower valves over the years, mainly the Therm and Outline, again very good showers.

The most important thing is that you go for a recognised brand name, for future spares.
