I was doing research on Hanna checkers, very interested in getting one mostly for phosphate. From what I gather from brief research is that phosphate is good for higher range ( 0.5-2.5 ppm ) and phosphorous is good for less than 0.5ppm. Could anybody shed some light on this for me and I'm sure others?

As for test kits I use elos for ph, phosphate and calcium, they're ok. Ammonia, nitrate and nitrite are all seachem and I rarely use them except for nitrates.
