Default What to look for in a kitchen faucet?

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?

Personally, I hate the pull-out PF that came with this place. I have
mineral-laden water, even with a softener, and the thing seems to lime up in
a month. Next time I see a Delta single-handle on the discount rack when
they change out the display units, I'll probably switch it back to a
seperate hose.
