I have this one and it's fine for what I do:

Use a caliper if you need accuracy to 1/2 of hundredth. Caliper is quicker to use and is more convenient for most things and can measaure outer/inner diameters as well as depth.
Use a micrometer if you need accuracy to 1/2 a thousandth (as a rule of thumb, you want something with a resolution ten times higher than the accuracy desired) or measuring the thickness of a flat sample.
