I currently (no pun intended) have three multimeters. Two are cheap ($10 - $20) analogs and one is a more expensive digital.

I almost never use the digital. The analogs give much faster readings, and are better at showing any fluctuations in the signal. Also, if an analog meter falls victim to some danger (dropped, stepped on, fried, fan blade, etc) I can replace it dirt cheap. I'm usually just checking resistance, continuity, and presence of voltage (don't usually care how much).

If you have some aversion to anlog meters, get a digital. But my choice, if I had ONE multimeter, would be analog.

Oh, yeah, one other thing: Most analogs will not run down their batteries in you leave them on. Digitals will -- and the batteries are often oddball (i.e., expensive and hard to find). Whatever kind of meter you buy, try to get one that uses standard (AA, AAA, etc) batteries.
