I haven’t found a one-brand-fits-all, really. I’ve found that it’s good to go by certain design concepts.

As an example, especially for stuff like scoops and ladles, I vastly prefer when the utensil is one continuous piece of material. If it is made of different materials joined together, water might get in, or the material will detach/delaminate over time. A lot of utensils have handles that are like that, and they always eventually fail for me.

I have electronically actuated (as opposed to cable actuated) gear shifting on my bike. It’s becoming way more common these days, though…but still, it’s a pretty expensive piece of kit for quite marginal gains.
