Whats the best toilet flush and fill

Has anyone got a firm view on what the best toilet flush mechanism is and the fill mechanism ?
I've got 3 toilets in the house and at present they'll be a mix of mechanisms and I dont rate any of them as being good.
Ideally I want to know a good solid brand, and then change all 3 toilets to be as near identical as possible and keep a supply of spares. I'd also want both parts to be easy to service without needing to dismantle the toilet coupling.
Toilet 1 - is single flush only otherwise broadly ok
Toilet 2 is a concealed cistern - but the remote buttons are a bit hard to press, its not obvious which is the short flush and full flush and the fill mechanism sometimes jams, a thump on top usually makes it work again.
Toilet 3 - is now dribbling slowly into the pan, the dual flush is hard to push, if you press both together it can get jammed, the fill is broken as it takes ages to fill now so something not opening properly.

Personally I use fluidmasterI'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.
You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.0 -
We have Grohe for all taps, flushes and showers. No problems in 14 years bar one toilet flush needing a new washer.0

You don't say what you have just a vague description.
Hard or soft water?0 -
I vastly prefer simple lever flush systems, and like southcoastrgi, I am a fan of fluidmaster fill valves and such.0

I've seen OCD on many things but toilet flushing systems is a new one on me.0

Thanks all - I think I'll go for fluidmaster.
Im in Manchester so really decent soft water.
Its not OCD at all, just if I standardise now then I know what spares to get when anything fails in the future.0
