Fluke is generally considered the standard good DVM. There's a
whole range of Fluke DVMs, starting at around $60 and going all the way
up to the ScopeMeter. Fry's has a good selection.
Fluke is noted for having good protection circuitry in their DVMs.
It's quite difficult to fry one of those things. You can do things like
plug into 110VAC on ohms scale and not hurt them at all. Worst case,
you blow a fuse, and they pack a spare one inside the case. And
you get years on a 9V battery. I have a model 21, and am quite happy
with it.
