BTW; the old faucet is about 6 years old. The rubber gasket basically
disintigrated, so now it just flops around and can't be tightened up.
Replacing the faucet is just as easy as replacing the gasket, so I would
like one that doesn't have this problem.
So... Is this an inherent problem with one hole faucets, or was mine
poorly installed?

Poorly installed. I have single faucets for years with no problems like
that.

Why replace it? Don't you have any duct tape???????
