I've used a 1)  Boonton 250 RX meter and 2) an HP sweep generator, Vector Voltmeter and bridge at various times at the base of my vertical antennas.  I can remember a waveguide slotted line too.

We live in amazing times.

The VNWA is a nice unit but it's WAY WAY WAY to delicate for serious field work.  The newest variation with the micro USB is a step back because that connector is far more fragile than the old hunk-square type A USB connector.

While I've used my VNWA in the field a few times, I mostly use it in the shack or on the bench. The new little FA-VA5 IS designed to be used in the field, self-contained with no computer connection needed. It fits in shirt pocket!
