Horrid night - which leads to... Meter Question

Alright, (I bolded the question, so u can all skip to it if u don't feel like reading my saga)
so i'm sure we've all had these nights (i'm on the pump tho, so I dunno how normal this is for pumpers)
Woke up randomly @ 3 am and my blood sugar on the pump was 13.8 with two up arrows (I hadn't eaten anything since like 9 and when I tested @ 12 it was 10.9, I went to the washroom to get ready for bed and tested again and it was 10.0, I then took .5 units and went to sleep)
Now, I tested on my meter again (knowing the pump's 20 minutes behind) and it said 16.2, I entered the units and stuff into the pump and done, it was injecting me....
Needless to say, for the next 3.5 hours my blood decided to be resistant and rise from 16.2-23 and back down and up and down and up, roller coasting all over the place.
I kept checking on my meter (my fingers are throbbing) and I kept getting inaccuracies.
My question is... What meter do YOU find to be the most accurate?
Thanks!
