Being new to this sport (hobby), I am always looking for ways to improve. My question this time is, what would you consider the basics needed for measuring and marking? The reason for asking is that this is where errors can compound quickly. There are hundreds of gadgets out their, that claim to make it quicker and simpler. Therefore, before wasting my limited funds on useless items I would like to know which items you use. Thanks in advance for your help.

UPDATE:
My tatse in woodworking is towards larder items like tables, desk, display cases. So far Ihave only built a cabinet to hold our dvd collection and a display case for the wife. I have noticed that my measureing is not as accurate as it should be. Currently I use a speed square and a cheap 15' tape measure which the end has about 1/16 play in it. Hope this helps with your decisions.
