Russ provided some good links. Personally as far as test kits I wouldn't be too concerned with brand. They are all good.

As far as more sophisticated meters make sure you really need them. Sometimes we spend big bucks on something we want vs. need. Personally I don't believe most recreational pond owners need to shell out several hundred dollars for an oxygen meter. I have a PHD down the road from me that raises fish for a living, and he will not use meters to measure his water quality. Doesn't trust them. He uses test kits for everything.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
