As long as it does the basics: AC & DC voltage, resistance (continuity is a plus) and diode tester (for testing diodes and transistors) and you are happy with it, then it is a good meter.
One feature that is nice, but not essential is to have the thin clip on probes as well as the pointed probes.
I just bought 2 of these today, so I would have one I can keep in the garage as well as a spare for watching more than one thing at once.

They were on sale at my local Hongkong Fooie Tools store for $2.99.
I guess I'm going to have to read the manual to figure out how to plug a 2N6057 into that little transister socket on the front
