From an installation point of view, this faucet is a standard design. Any faucet from a big box store should fit, provided that:
1. It has two pipes, one coming down from each valve.
2. It has 8-inch hole spacing between the two pipes.
3. The height from the deck to the top of the arch is no higher than the current faucet's height.
In addition, you might check the fittings on the new faucet, just to be sure they are the same as the fittings on the old one, so they mate with whatever is on the pipes. But they are pretty much standard.
To ease re-installation, you might consider getting a pair of the 8-12 inch flexible hoses with the braided wire cover. You can attach these to the faucet pipes before you insert the new faucet into the sink deck. The only caution is to be sure that when the installation is done, the hoses slope uniformly downhill, with no low spots to trap water (I know, it never freezes in Houston).
