i got a 187. I needed it to do some HZ measurements on a sensor a number of years ago and its served me well.

If your looking for a clamp meter i dont have much advice there.

I have had flukes since I started working personaly have has an 88 (stolen) and 87. I have a 787 (high dollar) at work. I have always liked them. I wish the 87 had some more fetures but it is pretty good.

Clamp-on meters are the most versatile. Meters like the 337 will do everything you need to do. The 87 is really nice and one of the USA made meters but is not as useful as a clamp on. The mV reading on the 87 is great for power distribution work (loose connections). The 787 is for industrial control work because it has a 4-20mA output. I'm trying ot get my company to buy one of those for me right now. But for normal people the clamp-on type meters are the most useful.

Fluke makes quite a variety of meters with different features.
It depends on what sort of work you will be doing.
I like my 117.Has freq., capacitance ,min/max and lighted display.
Also have a 375 clamp meter.(more meter than I really need)
If you're working on modern industrial controls you'll
need a loop calibrator for 4-20ma circuits.Big money.
I have fluke 707 which I believe is one of the cheaper models.
Company wouldn't buy one so I bought it on ebay for $250.
Its $750 new.
