do you have to fit a certain type depending on your cistern or can you fit any one that takes your fancy?

The fluid master works on high and low pressure systems,it comes with a restricter if pressure is high in the property. I like how you can reverse that viva one from bottom entry to top entry.great video plumber boy p.b😂😂😂😂

If it fits in you can fit whatever you want.
Those skylo multi valves are pretty good, your Torbeck will just need a new diaphragm washer, very easy to replace.

I've not had much success in changing the diaphragm washer on torbeks,siamps,had few call backs,never had a call back on delchams diaphragm washers on ball valves though 👍👍👍

Up to the customer but some times the installation demands to be there no more than necessary so diaphragm is fitted.
this is worth a watch

I always change the whole thing as call backs cost you money and because you can't charge much for changing a diaphragm washer in the first place you can end up on the slippery slope of a job. Fluid master valves are good but well overpriced bearing in mind you can get a brass shank valve for about £7.
