Looking to replace my tired kitchen faucet, wondering if there's any
particular advantage with the single handle integrated on the faucet
type -vs- the 2-handle hot/cold type as far as longevity and ease of
DIY repair?

Any things to look for? I see some touting a "ceramic disc" valve, is
this a genuinely desirable feature or just marketing-speak?

Any particular brands/models you'd recommend, particularly looking at
the under-$100 range?

You will not find quality in the under $100 price.
That said, 14 years ago I installed a Chicago faucet, separate hot and
cold with "wing" controls like a surgeon would hit with his elbows. But
the most important feature is the very high rise output pipe, like a
chem lab. It is chromed brass. $350.
