Stop cock term is use to stop the incoming water to a specified section like the entire toilet.

But your is use to switch on the shower? than it should be called water pipe valve.

The two higher "tab" my contractor use the term stop cock. This type better use the conventional rubber to control the valve. The tap are using Ceramic valvel.

Is just the term, the valve can use to control shower, or water flow to entire area.

what is the difference between stop cock and water pipe valve?
sounds like the same thing; used to stop any water from going to the shower.

i would also like to find a less ugly and more minimal tap fitting for it if price is decent.

Is actually the same, but when you tell shop about stop cock, they usually give you not so nice looking and rubber valve. The water pipe valve got more design and can can have ceramic valve which only need 1/2 turn to switch off or on.

So the best one is ceramic valve?

Reliable is the rubber valve. Ceramic not so.

By the way, does it matter if it is a 1/2 inch or a 3/4 inch?

haha, too ex. I'm using local brand Sorento for the shower; and get a Grohe for the stopcock?!
oh ok. in a house, normally the location of these is hidden right? or placed low near the floor so it isn't obvious.

Depend where the incoming. If up, stop cock will be on top, if bottom stop cock will be on the bottom.
