I use an NSK at work that I got from the Snap-On man about 3 years ago. I haven't had any problems with it. I think it was around $80. It's a regular dial one like what you showed in the links. I've only adjusted it once since I got it. We tested a few days ago against one that just got back from being calibrated and it is still perfect. It doesn't have any flex to it when measuring (a problem that is found with digital calipers).
If you know that you will be using a micrometer, I would suggest buying the caliper separate from the micrometer. Buy a set of micrometers for different sizes. Believe me, you won't regret spending the extra money now.
When it comes to precise measuring, don't buy cheap crap. The only problem i see with the first one is that it doesn't have a wheel to do the small adjustments. The second one has that wheel. It makes it so much easier to move the slide.
