The big question that hasn't been asked is, "What are you going to use the meter for?"
If you're doing industrial maintenace involving high-energy circuits, you'd better maked darned sure that regardless of any other functions of the meter that it's rated for Category III or Category IV so that it doesn't blow up in your face if something isn't done right when using the meter (like measuring the number of ohms on a live 440V 3-phase line).
If you're going to be working with 8-bit ADCs and DACs, any DMM will work fine. But if working with 12-bit ADCs and DACs, you'll need a meter with good accuracy, at least 0.01% since a 12-bit DAC/ADC resolves to 0.024%
If you're doing just general troubleshooting of solid state circuits, you may need a simple meter with the addition of a transistor test function.
If you're working with high-end audio, you may want a simple DMM for troubleshooting and spend your money on a decent AC voltmeter instead.
Note that everyone is going to have a different opinion concerning the best meter, and I'm no different, of course. But I tend to ease off into spending your money on simple, high quality meter (usually a Fluke) rather than an inexpensive meter that has 76 functions/ranges. You can find meters out there than can measure DC voltage, AC voltage, DC current, AC current, resistance (those are the minimums for any meter), frequency, capacitance, inductance, temperature, transistor hfe, white cell count and who know what, most on several manual and/or automatic ranges. Remember that the term "multi" in the description of any test equipment usually means that there's some give-and-take in accuracy, safety and reliability to give you all those features. At the schools where I've taught, it's always those fancy, cheap meters that are tossed into the "broken" box while the simpler meters keep on chugging.
So, don't get caught up in all the "bells and whistles". Just because that fancy graphing calculator has 784 functions doesn't mean that you're going to probably use not much more than 14 of them and use the other just for "playing".
