I use the pinpoint salinity meter, it has been checked against a refractometer and my old hydrometer and all three are accurate.

After reading this thread, I'm going to get a refractometer tonight, now I don't trust my 8 year old hydrometer.

Refractometer. Fast, easy, reliable. Hydrometers are a PITA.
