Here's the little thread that helped (?) me form my opinion, for what little it is worth.
Based on this and the like I have read, a reasonable ranking from best to less-best is:
Hansgrohe
Toto
Kohler
Delta, Moen
Grohe
American Standard
Danze
Comments:
Hansgrohe…very expensive, solid brass, etc.
Toto…most well known for super premium toilets
Kohler…super premium baths and sinks, but not necessarily the best operating valves or easily repaired mechanicals, therefore hated by some plumbers and former owners
Delta vs Moen…Delta makes top rated faucets and thermostatic valves often preferred by plumbers, while Moen makes decent valves using less plastic and more metal
Grohe similar to Delta, lots of plastic innards, but stylish
Danze…well represented at big box stores as one step above generic
