Decent multimeter for first time user?

[hyperion4]

I'm a second year Electrical Engineering student and I figured it's about time I purchase my own digital multimeter and build some stuff :)

So I'm just wondering which type would be best suitable for someone in my position?
Keep in mind that my budget is somewhere around the $20 mark, plus ebay has some good prices anyway.

I was particularly looking at these:

And even though this one obviously has fewer functions than the above two, I do like it's compact size:

I plan to get heavily involved in electronics (we have an electronics project next semester), so I'm guessing I'd need a decent one with a good range of functionality that will last me well into the future? In that case, should I just scrap the last one?

Thanks in advance.

Here's a recent PF thread about multimeters:

I built my first multimeter. Someone gave me a small meter movement and I just put the required multiplier resistors in. It wasn't a super accurate meter but it was good enough for what I was doing.

^^There's a store in my city that has a kit project where you build you own multimeter, might look into it.

Thanks for the link berkeman.
