My wife wants to install an under-sink water filter. For brewing, what features should I look for or stay away from? Should I get full reverse-osmosis, or a simple taste-and-odor filter? Or something in between?

I brew all-grain. My water is slightly hard, but otherwise OK. I currently get satisfactory (but very slow) results with a simple pitcher filter.
 
I use an under sink filter that has a carbon filter which helps remove chloramine. It needs to slow down the flow in order to be effective, but it makes a world of difference compared to standard tap water.
