Re: Which bullet comparator?
All of the various comparitors work, each has it's fans and detractors based on personal tastes and work methods. Telling you which I use would be no more valid than any other choice; pick one that looks good to you and use it happily.

Re: Which bullet comparator?
I've never used anything other than my Hornady comparator, so I'm not qualified to tell you if it's better than anything else. However, I'm very happy with it and couldn't foresee buying something different.
I also use Hornady's OAL gauge to measure seating depth and am well satisfied with it.

I like the PTG because I'm a definite believer in Occam's razor or the KISS method. Too many connecting parts and screws in the Hornady/Stoney Point comp's. Just a precisely machined 'nut' with holes in it for me.

Re: Which bullet comparator?
You should definitely get the headspace gauges too. That way you can setup whatever dies you're using for the appropriate amount of should bump.
One of Tresmon's stickies above talks about using two of them to measuring load bearing surface of the bullet. You'll need two inserts for a given bullet though.

Re: Which bullet comparator?
My first comparator was the 5 sided nut, still have it but it can be...complicated.
My second was a Hornady comparator, but they switched to a material that feels like plastic.
Now the only thing I buy are the Sinclair inserts (stainless steel) but I still use the Hornady comparator body.
