Park Tool ATD-1.2 is super convenient for every day (shop) use - range of most often used carbon stem/seatpost torques. No need to take the torque wrench out, then dial it back to zero and pack it back.
It is accurate and precise - simple mechanism, but relatively narrow torque range: 4 to 6 Nm.

Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza II Pro is very accurate and precise, small, convenient torque range for bike use (2-16). Just costs A LOT.

Park Tool 5.2. is good, not as precise, but still useable.

If on a budget, X-tools is cheap, but not bad.

The last two are not the most accurate at the ends of their torque range spectrum, but the most used torques are within the "mid-area".
For higher torques, I'd go with a 10-60 Nm wrench, probably ParkTool TW-6.2 - or any other of decent quality.
