Sekonic L-358 or L-758 if you need a true spot meter and some additional bells and whistles.

Almost everyone will recommend Sekonik, they're readily available and very good. If you don't mind used and perhaps not as fashionable, have a look at some of the Minolta meters. They're cheap and pretty much bomb proof, they just go on and on...

I love my Sekonic 758DR, particularly in combination with the PW's...
