Most dependable 1/2 ball valve?

[cowboy]

In the process of changing all of my galvanized pipe in my home to CPVC. I'm wondering what do you consider to be the best full port ball valve and how many would use and where would you install them?

I am not sure whats the best valve, but i would think any valve that has red brass would be a good valve. Install valves at water heater, water softner, water filters,and service entrance valve (Main water shutoff valve) . Install stops (shutoff valves) at all fixtures. Use hammer arrestors at dishwasher,fridge ice maker line, washing machine

What ever you do don't use CPVC ball valves. In time they get very hard to open or close. Use brass ball valves with CPVC brass transition males.
