Big box stuff gets plastic or cheap ceramic guts while other sources get ceramics. I'm in the business and if you had a much larger order, I could help you.
Koehler is to plumbing as Pella is to windows. Very large advertisement budgets, huge name recognition and ok products.
YMMV.

No big box store stuff for me, no thanks. Personally, I stay away from ebay or internet unless its a large company who get their stuff from a wholesaler here in the US. Some of the stuff coming from Europe has metric or whatever thread that's a pain in the ass. I advice against it and you are saving 10-30 bucks on each item. Since you are local, and if you are willing to drive 10 miles to Pasadena, you can use my lic and get a few bucks discount from my local vender. First you have find out exactly what you want. I beat all of those internet pricing all day long.
