If cost is an object, consider the el cheapo Harbor Freight units for less than $10. I have a few and they are accurate enough for most uses.
If you want a high grade meter, consider Fluke 87. It's nice. I have a box full of various meters, perhaps eight or so hand helds. I often use my analog meter for quick readings. I have a few bench type units all the way up to the HP 3456A which goes to six digits. I have an antique, an Electro Instruments five digit Nixie tube readout rack mounted unit. The Harbor Freight units get used a lot for casual measurements, what I mostly make.
But if you want to have a nice assortment of test gear, there are many other instruments that you may want to own. Signal generators, oscilloscopes, impedance bridges, power supplies, spectrum analyzers, counters, and more. Heck, I even have about eight varieties of soldering irons for various situations. Plus screw drivers, nut drivers, wrenches, pliers, wire strippers, the list is long and I have far too many of each.
