Here's one that is pretty gold standard: The High Point Balancer.
I've used both. I bought the High Point balancer back about 35 years ago originally to balance heli rotor heads. And it is is fantastic. Just make sure the surface you're using it on is level. And, yes, I think Robart messed it up when they went to plastic housings instead of the original aluminum housings for the wheels.
But, I use the Top Flite balancer much more often. Quicker and more convenient. I have two, one bought new, and one bought for $5.00 at a swap meet. Yes, they are subject to machining errors and possible imperceptibly bent shafts. I just find the balance of the prop, rotate the prop on the shaft, and rotate the prop on the spindles, looking for induced errors. I sometimes take the prop off the shaft and flip it over, just to be sure. Takes a little more time, but not that much to find the true balance of the prop.
As Dan said, the Prather balancer is handy to have in the field box. I picked up a purdy purple anodized one somewhere in my travels. I'm a 1/2A guy, so my field box is just a kid's tackle box, so the small Prather balance fits nicely in a bin. But I suppose that the Top Flite balancer would fit in most people's field box if you really wanted to get fancy at the field. I never thought of cutting new rods for the Top Flite balancer base to use the Dubro. I'll have to dig through my wire stock and find some to try that.
edit: *SIGH* I just pulled out my Prather balancer and a Top Flite balancer to see what length of rods I'd need. Seems my Prather balancer shaft is slightly bent. I
hate it when my Prather gets bent....
