Yes. A well-designed ABS shower head can be a good choice, especially for a handheld unit where low weight and complex internal water paths are useful. It is not automatically less reliable than a metal head. Resin quality, molded structure, inlet design, seals, coating adhesion and pressure testing matter more than the word "plastic" alone. Metal remains useful where rigidity, thin profiles, machined threads or a heavier feel are priorities.

No. A bigger shower head does not automatically use more water. If two heads deliver the same measured gallons per minute, they use the same volume over the same shower time. A wider face can spread that flow across more active outlets, so the spray may cover more skin and feel softer. It uses more water only when its actual flow rate is higher, more outlets run at once, or you shower longer.

Choose a fixed shower head for a clean, hands-free setup with fewer exposed parts. Choose a handheld shower head when directed rinsing, cleaning the enclosure, bathing children or pets, or seated use matters. A dual system solves both jobs, but it adds a diverter, more joints and a higher flow-planning burden. Neither format is naturally stronger or more water efficient. The model's flow path, nozzle layout and supply conditions decide that.
