Who do you like for a nice dependable dimmer switch? Don't mind paying for it.

dangit. was thinking you were talking power tools. fein stuff...
at work, we almost exclusively use the lutron line of dimmers. mostly the C-L line(
decora, or
toggle). not really for any specific reason that i know of, but as long as some jackwad doesn't short out the terminals, i think i've only ever had 1-3 bad out of the box for probably somewhere close to 1k installed.
i've done less than 20 casseta and maestro switch/dimmers-- usually for customers that need a remote(casseta)--either an easy install where no switch exists, or a tabletop nitestand controller. or the capability to dim a light from multiple locations(maestro). never really had a problem with either, but they cost more, so they only ever come up in specific usage cases.
i've done a couple legrand dimmers as well. they're just not as common of a stock item in my area, so i just don't see many. they've never stood out for any reason other than they have some funky color offerings.
i didn't even know feit had a line of dimmers. they even hide them on their site-- shows you how proud of them they are.
i like feit bulbs simply for the fact that they're one of the few companies that sell
150w equivelents...
