i use all salifert kits. they're as close to "professional" grade as you can get without using colorimeters, spectrum analysis gadgets and the like. the only issue ive had with them is the price, they're expensive.
a close second would be API kits, but i've had them sometimes give a false reading for nitrates and ammonia. however, the price is right.

I originally bought seachem test kit, basic marine or something like that. I like them, but now I need to get calcium, magnesium and a few other tests, so I will be getting salifert. I don't think you could go wrong with either one

I use API and never had a problem with them.
Cheap and I can find them locally and not have to order them
