Kitchen sink faucets

People are always complaining about not enough pressure at the kitchen sink. Yesterday I went to a lady's house - semi regular client, she has a Danze brand faucet, wants more pressure. I have two supply lines left over from somewhere that I joined at the 1/2 pipe thread end, that way I can attach the 3/8 compression to the supply valves to check the pressure in the pipes and have enough length to easily reach to a bucket or even up and into the sink. Major pressure displayed with that test.

I have encountered some of the more modern Delta style faucets that get filled with tiny rust bits or other junk and it can be hard to find and get out. This house is new enough that it has all copper pipes, so it's not rust. I've also seen some faucets that don't have good pressure right out of the gate. I'm thinking WTF?

Anybody know a reliable brand that doesn't have that problem?
