Any recommendations on flash meters?

I recently had the opportunity to work with a professional lighting set-up for portrait photography: monolights, softboxes, nice background, etc. Needless to say, it's easy to see why the pro's use this type of arrangement and the results were quite pleasing. So, of course, I want one.

One thing I'm having trouble finding is a good source of information about flash meters. There are plenty of them on the market. Some can remember several readings in memory, some can handle multiple flash readings for a single scene, some digital, some analog readouts, all fairly expensive. Are these features important? Anyone with strong opinions regarding one brand over another?

Thanks.
