There is of course another viewpoint to the question of which (type of) meter should I employ?
That of what are you trying to compare your measurement with.
A great many service sheets specify voltages at test points as measured with a specific meter type. This practice is less common these days.
I remember hearing of a particular incident at Marconi Instruments once where a Ministry inspector stopped the line and refused to accept the output because a particular meter serial abcd1234 was not being employed to as end of line checking. It was pointed out in vain that Marconis (in those days) manufactured the calibration equipment and standards that his cherished meter ( and most others) were calibrated by so could offer far superior test equipment. He insisted on comparing with his 'standard'.
