I have a Mitutoyo vernier 6", an 8", and a cheap digital model. The build quality on the Mitutoyo vernier 6" is so good that I always reach for it first. I also like its analog readout, and no batteries required. The digital one has its uses - good if you need to do arithmetic, or compare to a DRO on another tool (like a planer, for woodworking).
