Question Best Test Kit

I was just looking into buying a test kit for my reef system and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on which were the best ones out there.

what are you hoping to test for? typically, I run all salifert kits, but some are better than others.

I was looking to test for pretty much everything. Studied chemistry in school, so I'll probably want to over test just for the fun of it :-)

I used to buy Salifert, but now use Elos because of inconsistencies with Salifert. That's my experience at least; really like the Elos.

I prefer Salifert over most but I have yet to try elos, which I have heard some good comments about.

I've been having problems with Salifert. They have been pretty inconsistent lately, but it's what I use for the time being.
