Look at the range of what you're attempting to tighten. Not very many torque wrenches tighten to the flywheel torque. I beleive the click type are handiest.

I'd get a good click type. Craftsman, Matco, Snap-on, etc. Should be pretty accurate right out of the box. I think they're most accurate around 60-80% of their usable range.

Don't mess with that Craftsman crap.
Save the money and get at least a Snap-On or equivalent.
