as a plumber i always recomend taps at the ends of baths unless there is access from behind there are very few quality taps out there and replacing them in five years will require the bath to be removed i always recomend pressed steel baths for there longevity but they are not thermaly efficent good plastic/resin baths are better thermally but more expensive, i would never recomend the cheaper plastic baths expect to pay over £250 for a good plastic bath
