Default Frequently plugged toilet

I posted before Thanksgiving the toilet in the bathroom of the rental
not flushing well. This is one which has an original lead waste bend
which leaked before I replaced with a PVC one like six or seven years
ago. The toliet was the old standard non-water-saving type I am very
hesitant to replace. During Thanksgiving I removed the toilet, could
not find anything wrong, put it back with a new flush valve having a
higher overflow tube. My strategy was to flush with even more water in
the tank.

It didn't work. The tenants are having the same complaint.

Now I'd appreciate a toilet recommendation. I won't exactly go cheap,
knowing you get what you pay for. But I won't pamper them either.
It's a rental after all. I had a water-saving Kohler a few years ago
which works but doesn't flush with power.

Advice is appreciated.
