Off Topic: Shower heads that don't leak

I'm replacing the old one due to a long-standing drip when the shower is on...seems to leak from some place in the fixture (not from the pipe threads that attach the unit to the wall pipe.) Leak tends to drip back towards tub rim and contribute to mold.
A new water pic model we tried drips too. I don't necessarily need a head with 40 different settings, just a few.
note: we have about 60psi water pressure.
Edit: I just found this on the Sloan website:
"Showerheads are normally manufactured to dribble a small amount..." Never heard this before; apparentely has something to do with scalding....
Thanks,
David
