I will mostly be using this for home wrenching on steel frames with mid-range components. From the post above it sounds like the TW-6 is advisable.
Why not have a look at the torque specifications for the components you intend to repair? If you don't have a stash of instruction booklets, the Park Big Blue Book (BBB-2) has a table of torque requirements. I think the newer edition Zinn books do too.
