Y-valve Whale or Jabsco......
 

A Year ago, based on Peggie's recommendation, I got the Whale valve. To me, it
looks well made. It's too soon to tell whether it functions well or holds up.
The Guzzler (Bosworth) valve is junk.

I think you've answered your own question. :)

How does bronze hold up to the corrosiveness of urine?

Looking at the acid resistance of metals table he

I see that bronze holds up well to
Citric acid, and formic acid, but vinegar not so well.

That's as far as wanted to take it for now.

Since most of the early marine toilets--and most of the high end manual
ones today--are bronze, apparently pretty well. I've never heard of any
problems with it, something I can't about stainless or aluminum.

When it comes to 3-way waste valves, there is Whale and those valves who
when they grow up want to be Whale valves.
