remodeling the bathroom and looking to match the sink/toilet/tub/shower hardware.
Currently looking at a Price Pfister line, but plumbing friends tell me to stay away from them as parts are hard to find. Curious what the thoughts are here about:
Price Pfister
vs.
Delta
vs.
Moen
vs.
American Standard.
Looking for something nice in Brushed Nickel. Have the Kohler Pedestal sink and matching toilet, and Jacuzzi tub.

You have them listed in the correct order IMO. Price Pfister has solid brass waterways, and parts are readily available at most hardware or big box stores, so your fears are unfounded. Delta, likewise has a quality construction with available parts. Now, when you get into Glacier Bay, and some of the other lesser expensive units, you will find the waterways to be plastic.
I had a rental unit that I kept up for a customer, and he insisted on installing the least expensive kitchen faucet everytime someone moved out, as they continually would leak. 30 bucks a pop plus my labor. I told him he should go ahead and buy a Price Pfister, pay the $100 plus labor, and be ahead of the game for a few years. He finally saw the light.
