When I ask plumbers what brand they recommend, it is hands down Moen.  Moen stands behind their product and that's why I bought my new Moen kitchen faucet to replace the American Standard one that the previous homeowner had installed (it sprung a leak in the main hose and would no longer retract properly). The Moen faucet was reasonably priced and elegant. Expect to keep it for a lifetime since Moen has a proven reputation for standing behind their brand.
