Good advice Mark... I recently replaced my 1inch ball valves, as the handle on one broke right off. It was a pain, as I had to cut all the plumbing to redo, but bought high end ones with unions, and added additional unions in order to prevent future issues, and easy replacement if necessary.
Here in Calgary I use Western Pump, one of the best selections of everything one would need for an aquarium. And the prices were decent also.
