Dependable Bathroom Materials?

[Sam L.]

I'm in the process of turning over a property. What brands do you guys prefer for dependability and servicing in a rental? 

I'm looking for input specifically on:
*Shower mixer valves (serviceability is big with this one, if you've ever had to replace a cartridge you'd know why)
*Toilets (I prefer Vormax toilets from America Standard)
*Tubs (Open to suggestions)
*Fixtures (I like Pfister "push and seal" for vanities, gets rid of that stupid linkage that always seems to break)

What brands have ya'll had success with?

I've done a ton of remodels as a contractor, and if there was ever anything I could recommend to homeowners was, the higher priced items, a lot of times the harder it is to find replacement parts. Not meaning that in a cheap out way because quiet honestly they are paying for it anyway, but stick with a nice setup from a local Home Depot or Lowes etc, you'll always be able to find replacement parts easily. Plus they make nice things.
