Advice on type and model of power shower

[sparksburnout]

I've got a shower that is just plumbed into my hot and cold water at the moment, and its rubbish as the header tank is only just above it. Bad installation in the first place i think by previous occupier. I am looking at replacing it with a power shower, what do you guys recommend? Are these combiner units any good? I was thinking of one of the Triton combined units, the ones that look like a conventional electric shower but just need a H&C feed from the tanks, are they any good? Seems easier than a separate pump as i thought you needed?

They are ok until you have to replace it in the future and can't get one with the feeds in the right places. You then have to start smashing tiles.

I would always go for a thermostatic bar shower with twin impellor pump personally.

I have a Mira shower. Internal pump with hot and cold connections, fed from tank above. Im happy with it, its nice and powerful, better than a mains shower.
