I use a 1$ store plastic version of the first one with amazingly good results. I have several, metal, dial, and plastic and find that the plastic will work to get measurements to "dupe" what I am trying to make on the lathe. If of course you need precise measurments then the ones you pictured will be necessary.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Neither  
I use a pair of digital calipers. Similar to the top ones you posted. Also have a set like the bottom ones, but don't use them as much. Probably depends more on how you will use them. I mostly use them to determine the thick of the piece I am turning or to check a plug that comes off the duplicator. In that case, I have the diameters at various locations written down and its an easy check with the digitals.

I use my dial calipers all the time. I always used them at work and can't seem to used to using the others.

Thanks for all you input, I ordered one of each. I am getting close to turning my first one. I just wanted to have what I need in place first. I should have my shop set up by Sun.
