hello everyone, i was wondering what tire pressure gauge everyone is using?

what is the best tire pressure gauge available out on the market now? one that possibly doesn't bleed air out too much when trying to engage the valve to get a measurement.

I want to keep the price reasonable but am not opposed to maybe spending around $100(buy once cry once).

also, i've always been told to measure and fill tires when cold or not driven for at least 2 hours.
Our cars being 35 psi all around, would it be ok to let's say fill up early morning when it's colder let's say around 40 degrees? then as the day progresses to the afternoon let's say the temperature increases to 60 or so, would the increase in PSI be ok due to the temperature increase?
I'd imagine car manufacturer's take the above into account and the recommended psi settings are for cold temperature measurements?
