Most people will agree that the best shower to have with a pressurised system (combi) is a mixer shower. You need of course to be sure that the combi and your incoming mains water pressure are up to the job of supplying a shower. Incidentally, most modern boilers will.
Electric showers do have obvious advantages, but cannot compete with the flow rates of even the smallest combi boiler.
Bath shower mixers are not really designed to operate as proper showers but generally only as hand showers. They are not thermostatically controlled so are difficult to control flow and temperature wise and they don't generally come provided with proper wall riser rails.
Having said that, I believe Mira do a model, but these models are few and far between.
