I'm lucky that I'm the only one that showers in the one with brass fittings, so I'm happy to dry it all off. The others in my household can't even be bothered to squeegee the shower screen, so there's no way they would dry off the taps as well. I would avoid brass in a family bathroom if you can. It'll look awful once you try to use anything harsh to keep it clean, as it'll tarnish and look far worse than not matching your other brass hardware.
