Best quality switches and sockets

This is somewhat of an unusual advice for a tech forum so decided to post in the general talk section.
I need to buy switches and sockets and gang boxes (surface mounted) for a farm shed and might even install some at home. Looking to buy high quality switches and sockets which can survive an open and dusty environment. I do have options of buying weatherproof boxes from C&S electric. For most stuff I am installing industrial sockets and plugs, but can't do that for things like cameras, fans, etc and will need to use some normal sockets and switches as well. Have tried Goldmedal and Reo (Havells) in recent past and not too impressed with either of them. The Reo ones were especially quite pathetic.

see if you can siemens or L&T ones are used in industries and commercial office spaces(have seen l&t ones in commercial offices). Quite expensive but will outlast a lot of things.
Are you talking about something like this - https://www.bestofelectricals.com/lt-dbpps316sd-16a-3-pin-pne-2m-ac-box

I already have industrial sockets and plugs, but need normal ones - 6A and 16A ones for some of the appliances I'll have to install. Can't replace all of the plugs with industrial ones as that will be costly and also unfeasible for things like power adaptors of CCTV cameras.
 
Anchor brand?
We have switches from the above brand working since the day we arrived in new home in 2004.
Don't know if there were sub brands of Anchor in those days but today there's Roma for general purpose use, affordability and another two for better quality. You can visit their website to get a better idea. I would anyday vouch for them.
