Any recommendations on a brand / model and torque range for all general maintenance?

I've got my eye on the following brand:

I've got the big and the little Craftsman to get the full range, both with reversible ratchet drive.  I'd like to get the calibration checked sometime, but they've done real well for me for many years.

Ratchet is great, I love the clicker style.

My dad had the old school model, with the big long needle that deflected against a scale.  Talk about impossible to read while your torquing something critical....  Wish I had a picture, bet most of you haven't even seen one of those!

A beam type torque wrench?
