Google "Delmhorst" they have a few styles depending what your use is.
Pins and pinless.

Best depends on what you are using it for and what your budget is.
Pin meters with a slide hammer type pin driver can measure moisture at various depths and is very useful for drying greener wood that can appear dry, but has a ton of moisture under the skin.
Pinless meters vary in the contact patch that does the measuring and how deep the reading is. A trim carp will want one with a narrow contact patch, a cabinet maker might use a quick reading basic model and a furniture maker wants a lot of features that others may not care about.
Personally, "best" is the combination of a pin type delmhorst and a pinless wagner.
