I have high water pressure also (yes, even in the shower). This probably results from being about 1/4 mile from the huge Collegeville/Trappe water tower. I have a water softener which I had installed soon after purchasing the house; it's a near-necessary item in my area unless you like scraping scale off of things and replacing seals. Other than the hardness (which is actually no problem for drinking water, it just is bad for taking showers and bad for the plumbing), the only problem is the usual chlorine byproducts which a carbon filter can remove.
Water which eats stainless is indicative of high sulfur content, I believe. Nasty.
Reverse osmosis is overkill unless it's the only way you can get drinkable water. It's high-maintenance and it does waste a lot of water.
