Decora Switches

[Little Bill]

I read where someone posted there were certain brands or grades of Decora switches that weren't as good as others, or maybe they stated which was better. Anyway I can't seem to find the thread. I am doing a bathroom remodel and the HO is interested in decora switches. There are currently 2 snap switches, 1 for the light and 1 for the fan and plans are to change these to decora or some type rocker switch. What have you guys found to be the better Decora switches?

I don't know if any one is better than the other since they all have to meet the same standard, but I prefer P&S.

It was just a thought. I will look for it the morning, if no one has it.

IMO, P&S make a great decora switch however you may be referring to the 4 ways. The reg. grade decora 4 way switches have a high failure rate so it is best to use the higher grade for those. My supplier has stopped carrying the reg. grade 4 ways because of the failure rate.

That's probably what I was thinking about.
Thanks Dennis, I usually use P&S but wasn't sure about the Decora type. I didn't want to recommend and install something and have it fail.
