For an ambient light meter, use an incident meter; more accurate than reflectance meters for most photography. However, if you want to be like Ansel and shoot B&W film with the zone system, you'll need a reflectance spot meter? Adams used an SEI meter. As for incident meters, Sekonic makes a nice one. Find them used for not much.

For studio strobe lights, you will need a meter, especially if you have multiple lights and care about lighting ratios. Sekonic and Minolta make flash meters that also measure ambient light as well as mixed light sources.
