tired of taps! advice needed

hello,

I am tired of replacing my tap heads with tap reviver kits, all tap heads seem to do is wear out, can anyone recommend some really good quality taps from online somewhere, which I can replace what I have , maybe I have just been using cheap and lousy taps, probably.

thanks.
