I've had nothing but problems with some builder grade Gerber toilets that are original to my 18 year old house. Most notably the tank to bowl gasket, this one requires a thicker gasket and it seems nearly impossible to get a solid seal. I'm a bigger guy, so sometimes I think I am pushing back on the tank when I'm taking care of business, which may be contributing to the gasket issue. I also occasionally have some issues with large/hard BMs that plug up the toilet solid, even without any paper.
Its time for them to go, and I'm looking for a nice one-piece and fully skirted toilet that will be easy to clean and where I'll never have to deal with tank-to-bowl problems ever again. Bonus points for a toilet that is less likely to clog.
I've done a lot of reading here and elsewhere...and here are the three contenders I have it narrowed down to:
Caroma Caravelle Smart 270 One Piece Toilet

Toto Eco Soirée One Piece Toilet, 1.28 GPF, Elongated Bowl

Toto Aquia One-Piece Toilet, 1.6 GPF & 0.9 GPF, Elongated Bowl

Thoughts? Pros/Cons of each? I am leaning towards the Caroma...but I'm concerned about parts availability and quality compared to the Toto options.
