I have this one from Pfister, and I love it! We've had it for several years with no issues. Looks like it doesn't come in copper or bronze, though.

I like my Delta Trinsic.

Pfister has a brushed gold, that would work.

Dont know if they still make it, but I have a Delta Leland and it 's been excellent. I have it for probably 5 or more years already.

We have three Moens, all have worked great.

Lots of love on here for the Kohler Artifacts faucet and it is available in oil rubbed bronze. We have it in the stainless finish at our prep sink and it has worked flawlessly. Saved a lot by purchasing it at Amazon Warehouse.

Love ours from Newport Brass. They have copper and bronze finishes.

Delta

Delta is often recommended, however we unfortunately haven’t had great results with them. I bought the fairly expensive Delta Pivotal kitchen faucet, and the braided hose cover started fraying almost immediately. We’ve only had the faucet for a couple of months, but it’s in pretty rough shape. I need to contact Delta, and I’m sure they’ll make it right, but it’s frustrating since I assume any replacement part will require hiring a plumber to install it, and that comes with an added expense. Our previous builder-grade $50 faucet had zero issues after 15+ years, so not sure I’d ever go with Delta again.

Love my Delta Trinsic faucets.

My installer recommended Moen, for ease of finding repair parts if needed. As I'm sure you've read, faucet brands may sell different quality in big box stores vs plumbing supply stores. My favorite Moen faucet was one at Home Depot that cost $200, but I also bought a better quality Moen from Build.com for $400. In the end I chose the cheaper one.

I asked an associate at Home Depot if it was really true that their faucet would be lower quality, and he said yes. But, with the savings I could replace twice as often - so in the end I went with the one I liked. Regarding needing a plumber to replace a faucet (or a cartridge), you certainly can go that route but it's not that difficult a project for a home owner to do.

I have a price pfister that I have had for 15 years with no issues, held up to 2 teenage boys.

Grohe.

Our plumber, who isn’t one to recommend expensive items just for the heck of it, told us “get a Grohe.” Having lived with our Grohe Ladylux Cafe pull down faucet for just about 13 years, we’re still glad we took his advice.

Ergonomically, the spray head is terrific. It fits comfortably in my small hand, as well as in my husband’s much larger one. I believe they’ve not only updated the body design somewhat, but also offer the same (or similar) model with a narrower spray head (not bell shaped like ours). Ours wasn’t available with a stay-on spray button (must be held in for spray), but I think that might be how they are made now. I haven’t looked for kitchen faucets since purchasing ours, but they probably offer other great pull-down models as well.

Grohe offers a lifetime warranty, and will send out replacement parts at no cost. Buying a Grohe faucet (and pot filler faucet) was money well spent IMO.

Have a Delta Valdosta in the kitchen -- zero problems, and it's beautiful.

hansgrohe Talis C... no problems after 6 years., love it!

#3 for Delta Trinsic; LOVE it.

Also a Delta Fan, but my Danze Parma was awesome for a more modern style.
