Taylor K-2006 (not the K-2005).
For salt level use the AquaChek salt test strips. They are extremely accurate but slow. You have to let them develop for about 5 minutes.

Other than the fact that the K-2005 only measures up to 5ppm for FC, why is the K-2006 a better test kit?

It features a titration test for chlorine giving you 0.2 ppm precision. The titration also eliminates any color-matching. And you test for free chlorine then combined chlorine, as opposed to free chlorine then total chlorine. The test also measures up to 50 ppm chlorine.
