It does depend on your water system (i.e. low/mains pressure / equal or unequal pressure). We have low unequal so have gone for Methven. Bit pricer but better suited to our house. We did have a Felton mixer and that lasted for years, very efficient and good quality plus easy to get parts.
Also depends on whether you are intending to stay in the home or sell it on. If we were selling we would have not chosen Methven, would have settled for something cheaper.

Methven, Grohe and Aquatica are good tapware.

Have used these guys in two new builds over 12 years. faultless
Methven or Greens - both NZ companies - Greens have excellent support.

Go for Felton, Methven, Grohe, Greens. All have good support. But it also depends on things like your water pressure, budget, ect. Make sure the plumber installs the limiting valve so it protects the whole house. As some lazy plumbers install it so it only protects the hot water cylinder. If that is done then the warranty is void on your new tapware because of no line strainer or limiting valve on the cold.
