Both are equally good depending upon usage. For home usage a digital monitor is better as people find it difficult to use a manual one. Things to keep in mind while using a digital monitor is that the cuff should be properly tied. - should not take reading repeatedly on the same arm as it will give varying results as the compression has already occured once. - should ask someone to tie the cuff for you. - note deviation only of your monitor if using regularly. Don't compare reading if two monitors.
