Interesting discussion. Buy both wrenches and buy beam types. Beam types are accurate and robust for a home shop, you need to bend or damage one of the beam components to throw them out of calibration.
Torque is a very imprecise method of loading a bolt/fastener due to all of the inputs; lubrication, machine profile, condition of the flanks, etc,,,. Several studies have shown that it is more important to torque fasteners correctly and to level or equalize the load on the fasteners than to reach the prescribed values. Studies have also shown that experienced hands can feel the right values for the fasteners and are great at equalizing the loads.
Whatever, have fun..
