I'm recommending based upon solely on ease of installation and initial flawless functionality. I purchased this device to replace what appears to be an identical part, although it may have been from another manufacturer... soft goods inside disappeared making the original (probably 8-10 years old) useless; and adding insult to injury, the fragged innards of the failed 1/4 turn valve continued downstream and made the toilet float valve fail. I have no idea how a quarter turn shutoff valve frags, it is a first one on me. Previously, I have always made a point to replace failed gate valves with ones like this; now with a quarter turn failure under my belt, what's a homeowner to do? Anyway, if this one fails in a similar manner quickly and I'm allowed, I will update the review.
