Kitchen sink Kohler
Sometimes I get asked questions I can not answer and I suspect no one else can either.
Making improvements to a home can increase it's value but . . there is always a but. . not all improvements have a measurable return on investment and there are variables. For example spending 100K on a new kitchen in a $120,000 home does not make that home worth $220,000. Home values have limiting factors like location and size. It is possible that no matter how many improvements are made to the $120,000 home it can only be brought on value by another $30,000.
For small improvements like the sink just pick out the one that you like best. A sink is not going to impact the value of a home. Unless of course there is no sink in that case buyers will want about 500% the cost of a sink taken off the price of the house.
In an upper bracket home with a high end kitchen the sink may matter but it has been my experience that the people who buy those homes usually don't have a problem with buying that perfect sink.
The same rules apply to kitchen appliances and washers and dryers.

‘Pick out one that you like…’
Just make sure it is likable by people in the market. I’ve seen people willing to argue to the last breath about how their custom order sink makes the home much more valuable. Interesting? Maybe. Valuable? Not so much.
