It depends on what you want.
If you're taking slides and want slides to look most like what you see, use an
incident meter - but backlit subjects won't look right, and you may lose
highlight or shadow detail when you do.
If you want to capture the maximum information, adjusting what it looks like
when you print it or prepare it for the monitor, use the multispot to see the
range of what you want detail in, and choose the exposure that will capture the
most of what you want.
