Single handle, side spray, 4 hole. Good quality, basic chrome, nothing fancy. Easy to find/replace parts. Hopefully in the $100 range.
Please send suggestions.
 
I usually recommend a Delta for something like this. Good quality, lifetime warranty, easy to find repair parts and a price that isn't going to kill you like some top-end faucets. Lower end Moen faucets also fit the bill, although to be honest I think their quality has been slipping the last few years and you end up repairing them a lot.


I recommend avoiding in-house or cheapy brands such as Danze, Glacier Bay, Peerless or anything like that. You may save a couple bucks initially but you will regret it as soon as something breaks...which will be sooner than you think.
 
I have never stocked the collins, but it looks like a good faucet. The new DST faucets are quite nice, you will be able to "feel" the better quality when you move the handle.
 
Wish i knew about in house brands before I bought a faucet, I bought a Glacier Bay faucet from HD and installed it. I started reading and found out theyre notorious for lack of quality. Sure enough,after 1 week of ownership I noticed a few drops.Today it looked like it was turned on very low with a thin stream.I yanked it and returning today after work for a Delta.I really liked the way it looked too but oh well.
 
Delta or Moen Faucets. I always recommend and prefer them over anyone else. A little more pricey but well worth it in the long run just due to replacement parts. I personally install Moen over anyone else for the exact reason Barber stated.

Got the Delta Collins. Easy install. Used silicon underneath base. Lots of high-tech thought in this faucet. Works great. Occasionally, when I shut it off, I get 4 drops of water, then it stops. Pleased with my upgrade. Timing was perfect, as the night before, I turned the Price Pfister on and heard a heavy flow of water, but saw nothing from the faucet. Spray hose blew clean off, making a nice lake under the faucet. Cheers for Delta,
 
I recently installed a Moen kitchen faucet and the water flow seems lower. A couple of weeks later I help my son install another Moen kitchen faucet and his flow was very slow also. I notice that the supply lines are very small in diameter. Is there some government regulation now forcing the new fixtures to put out less water?
