What refractometer do you like and why? What's best web site to buy one? Thanks.
 
I got an electronic one from BRS. I love it. The negatives people gave it that you have to test it with distilled water everytime you want to test your water, but even with the non-electronic ones you should do this anyway. I'd suggest this because looking at a digital screen is easier than looking through an eyepiece and making sure you have enough light to see your reading.
 
I bought my from ebay for $38, most of the lfs around me use and sell the same 1 I have for over $100
 
Mine has ATC (Automatic Temerature Compensation) which is for precise measurement without having to re-calibrate after changes in ambient working temperature
