What "go to" fixturesproducts do you use in your rentals?
Looking for help selecting good value (price and quality) products to put in a rental. I am replacing toilets, sinks, countertops and faucets now but will soon be replacing other things from windows and doors to stove and refrigerator and everything in between.
I am wondering if other people have already done the research and have "go to" products that they use in their rentals.

Cadet 3 toilets. Cheap, and never, ever need a 2nd flush.
Don't do big box melamine counters, they always get wet and fall apart. If you're handy and granite slab is beyond your price point granite tile is a good DIY. But granite is extremely durable and practical, unlike Corian or other trendy surfaces. Get a dark color which won't stain, or at least won't show it.
I just got what appears to be amazing quality cheap vanity faucets from Amazon, branded Parlos. $35, popup drains and come with hoses! Far better quality than comparably priced from a big box. I've decided I hate the plunger popups, they always break and are much harder to snake hair out with those barbed sticks.
Frigidaire ranges. I've got like 10 and no trouble. Bought a nice looking Whirlpool and the igniter had needed service twice in a few months.
