All of the shower heads that we have looked at here have a high level of quality, and they will be able to last for a long time. There is no reason why they shouldn't last for several years, but there are differences to look out for. If a showerhead is completely made from plastic, then sometimes it doesn't have the lasting quality of a metal unit. Most of these models, however, are made with ABS plastic, which is very tough and resistant to breakage. If you do have any worries about durability, then looking for a model with a strong warranty is a safe bet.
