I figure the pecking order like this.

Analog - Simpson
Digital - Fluke

Having said that I have two Radio Shack analog meters in the shop and digital in the house then I have the Fluke digital at work.
I think everybody needs both digital and analog just because you always need a backup.

There are certain things at work that can only be tested by a analog meter or you get really inaccurate readings so we have to use analog Simpsons otherwise Flukes are the mainstay.
