I bought a "Tenma" brand meter from
www.mcmelectronics.com several years ago. paid about $40 for it I think. I'm extremely happy with it, never had any issues other than the occasional blown fuse from my own stupidity..
Also look at WaveTek and Fluke stuff, but they're a couple steps up on the ladder. you're going to pay more for the same thing if you go that way.
Radio Shack also makes pretty decent meters. stay away from their cheapies, but if you spend $40+ on one, you should be okay.
FYI, I'm an EE and I used the Tenma in my classes all through college.. It met all the requirements of the class and did everything I needed it to do through school. My opinion is that there's no need to spend $200 on a high end Fluke meter when a $40 unit will get the job done.
