The DV-100 and the DVF-100 are basically the same valves, only the DVF is a flow controlling valve. Basically, if you need flow control on your irrigation system, go with the DVF, otherwise, if you don't, don't waste the money. If you do choose to go with Hunter, our standard valve is the PGV jar top valve. The warranty is excellent, it is very rugged, and the jar top makes for easy maintenance. I would not suggest buying your irrigation products from a home improvement store.
