I have a Fluke 77 which has provided reliable 
service for many years with only one battery 
change.  I also have an old Fluke 8000 series 
which I purchased at a garage sale for $5.  The 
batteries are still with it and it works just 
fine.  I use it in my shop.  We had Flukes at 
work and they also were trouble free.  I don't 
know how much they cost now, but like everything 
else I suppose expensive.
Fluke should be a good choice although I'm sure 
there are others that will fill the bill.
