IR (laser) thermometers are fantastic, but not for candy cooking, as the steam throws off the reading. Digital is the way to go; I recommend one of these three: CDN, Maverick, Polder. I use the Polder and a refractometer.
I stopped using a thermometer ages ago, and use the incredibly old school method of testing sugar by hand, after it's been in some ice water. But for those who aren't familiar with soft ball & hard crack by touch alone, Amazon has a lovely digital candy thermometer for $22.07.
