Like you, I don't use torque wrenches. But some components being marketed today can be very finicky about torque with very narrow bands between tight enough to do the job, and over-tight where stripping or breaking can happen. IMO this is bad design, but it's something we have to deal with, unless we avoid this hardware (I try to).

In any case, a torque wrench can be very useful, not as a replacement for good judgement, and skill, but as an adjunct. I have no suggestions regarding brands, but you should shop for value, avoiding rebranded stuff which simply add extra layers of cost. Also, get a sense of the torque values you'll be working with and buy a wrench where those are toward the mid-range of the scale, where the calibrations will be most accurate.
