I got an undermount sink from Amazon and love it.   It has rounded corners which are easy to clean, and is large enough to hold a 12" skillet flat on the bottom.  It still looks brand new after two years of use.   It's also very quiet even with water on full blast.   Kraus KBU14 31-1/2 inch Undermount Single Bowl 16-gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink

I also got a Moen faucet from Amazon and it always retracts the sprayer.My    Moen Arbor One-Handle High Arc Pulldown Kitchen Faucet Featuring Reflex, Spot Resist Stainless (7594SRS)

My maid works for several doctors with expensive kitchens and agrees that only the Moen faucet sprayers retract well.

The faucet is going to be a Hangrohe Talis S, for a number of reasons.

 

Not too high, but high enough. I like it's lines and that it has a toggle spray diverter.

 

And the sink is a Franke, 10" deep, because we don't have a ton of room to go very wide.

 

 

Good. I was going to recommend a Grohe or Hansgrohe.

I hope your new sink is an undermount.  IMO, the only kind to buy.

As long as you're springing for countertops that aren't laminate. I know people say there are ways to have laminate countertops with an undermount sink, but I have yet to see a system that I'd be comfortable with.

 Having a very similar looking faucet installed in my kitchen this weekend. Mine is a Moen.  Didn't really get to choose it. My son-in-law bought it for his house but my daughter doesn't like it.  Anything will be better than what I have now. xD

 My daughter,  seeing it installed and operative, now loves the faucet.
