Sims now more consistently wash hands in the sink closest to the toilet.
Fixed in Patch 1.99.264/1.78

I do think they’re routing to a better quality item even if there’s a similar (less quality) available.
I've not found that to be the case.
Every sink in my house is the same except for the kitchen sinks which are cheaper. Like everyone else, my sims will go up or down multiple floors to use a different sink in a different bathroom.
After reading through all 12 pages of reports about this bug, I'm just going to add my voice to the chorus. It's happening in base game. It's happening in the game with the various packs I own. I do not run any mods, nor have I used any cheats on this playthrough.
I have not tried cancelling the auto-created wash hands task and manually doing it... I'm going to see if that works. Even if it does work... I shouldn't have to do that.
**Edit**
Cancelling the auto-wash hands and manually doing it works... it's just a giant pain in the rear to do if you're running more than 1 or 2 sims. It's only a minor pain in the rear if you're running 1 sim. In any case, it's still a bug that really shouldn't still be going. It's been months and it's extremely easy to reproduce.
I've also encountered this problem the past few days. It occurs to my sims about 90% of the time. The sinks in my house are all the same, so the price and quality doesn't matter. It's driving me crazy.
