Are push button flushes on toilet cisterns generally any good, or is
it best to stick to the standard handle?

B&Q (at www.diy.co.uk) have one but I'm wondering if there would be
any issues fitting it to a relatively new cistern.

If you mean the flap valve type.....

First, you will need to remove the cistern to exchange the syphon for the
new flush.

Not particularly difficult; but I _needed_ to do something to trigger the
change.

It seems to flush better. But I'm a bit worried about the system - in the
commissioning, ths flap valve stuck open once or twice. It was easlily
adjusted, but as I'm on a meter I sometimes wake in a cold sweat thinking
about it!

If you want to change, think about the inlet side as well - I use a
fluidmaster (I theenk... it's been some time) and like it, but there are
apparently better ones, with a bit of luck about which out you will soon
find; (we're a bit pedantic about our granma these days)
