When it comes to choosing a new (or used) tub/shower faucet, there are several choices out there, but which of these are the most trouble-free?
There are combination tub/shower valves that have the following features:
* Single-handle or two-handle units; tub filler with pull-up or pull-down diverter (cf. Delta 642/644, 1646/1648)
* Push button diverter on single-handle units (cf. Delta 636/638, 1636/1638) and some two-handle units (cf. Delta 2836)
* Three-handle units where the center handle acts as the diverter (cf. Delta 2683, 2885)
(Two- and three-handle units are no longer permissible by code)
Which of the above would be the most trouble-free?
