Mitutoyo is the gold standard, of course.
I have a pair of 6", IP rated ones at the shop, and a 4" set at the CAD desk for general use. Fits 99% of my work. Would never give them up as my daily driver.
But I needed a 12" set for dealing with the occasional bigger object (pallets, big one-off stuff, etc), and didn't want to spend $400 on Mitutoyo for such light-duty and rare work, so I snagged the Shars (!) Aventor 12" digital caliper for $100. I have been nothing but absolutely impressed with them. They hit the price/performance curve perfectly. These are just the right step up from the generic, often rebranded cheap Chinese digital calipers, for not much more.
When I get around to it, I'll pick up a 6" for keeping at the bandsaw, and these are my GoTo recommendation when friends who are't machinists ask me what digital calipers to buy for light-duty use.
