I use a ten-buck electronic scale from eBay (.01g) along with a two-dollar 50g calibration weight. It's the same setup I purchase for use in my Chemistry classroom.

The best I found was Lyman Miro Touch Electronic Powder scale1500
I use it for powder and pellets very sensitive to even a couple of powder grains.

Got to laugh ..... have a sense of humor. You can always guarantee yourself a plethora of different answers, when you ask what the "best" anything is .... you get answers ranging from thousands of dollars to ten dollars? The most expensive does not always mean the best, but the ten dollar item is almost never the best.

Like K.O., I have the Lee powder scale. It works, it's rugged, and it doesn't need batteries. I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. If you need pellet weight to plug into a ballistics software application, a beam balance will work just fine. If you're going to use it for sorting, the beam balance can be painfully slow. A digital scale might be better in that case.

I have the inexpensive one from Ebay to sort pellets with. It may be slow but it cuts down on the flyers especially if you are hunting with them.

a little write up regarding accuracy and precision.
http://www.tutelman.com/golf/measure/precision.php
as a rule of thumb, if you want to measure something to an accuracy of .1 grain, such as with a pellet, then you will probably need a scale with a precision 10 times better, or .01 grain. we'll assume the accuracy is just as good.
