I'm a tool and die machinist, and I'd recommend mitutoyo digital. I have 2 sets and they work perfectly every time, and the battery life is amazing. These are on, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week (sometimes I leave them on overnight or weekend here and there) and the battery life its 2+ years so far. Also, they read down the .0005, and seem to be accurate at that too. I don't trust them down to around .001-.002 however unless that's the only method I can use to measure. I've used starrett (not bad but not as good), used cheap fowlers and spi's (both junk), and also used Brown and Sharp dial's (very smooth but not as nice as digital when you use them daily).
I believe if you catch a sale, you can have a 0-6" digital mitutoyo for around $110-120 from MSC. Word of caution, don't shop ebay for them, there are some fakes on there that you can't tell the difference!
