I'd like to get a good digital caliper and not sure who the reputable makers are. What calipers do you guys have?

I bought a set off Amazon for $15. I bought metal, not plastic. Took them to my buddys machine shop. Calibrated them and they were dead-on right out of the box.

Mitutoyo - not the absolute top of the line but widely used and accepted.

I have Craftsman and Brown & Sharpe. Both work very well.

cool, good info. I am not looking for the best of the best, just something that works well for a DIYer like me. :)

I got a set of Brown & Sharpe digital calipers and they are just what I needed. Cost ~$80, so they are below "professional" grade but they won't get used daily. Thanks again for the suggestions.
