I have a Fluke 77 that I bought way back in the 80's and still working good today even with all the years of abuse at home, shop and on service calls.

That being said, for the casual user I would suggest just picking up 1 of the cheaper ones listed above. They work just fine for what you would use it for.

In all my years of working in the electronics industry I never once used my meter to measure current for board repair. I will admit that I have measured current but that was in high current applications (talking a couple hundred amps here) and I used a clamp on current meter for that kind of work.

IMHO the only options you need is AC and DC voltage measurements and the diode check is handy. I seldom measure resistance and then it is usually because I am too lazy to figure out the color banding (or is hard to tell the colors). One day I just may organize all my spare resistors into labelled drawers instead of tossing them all into one - but probably not since I have been doing it that way forever...
