Sorry, no such animal, but lots of opinions. ;)

I'd suggest getting with some local reefers and see what test kits you find easiest to use. And FWIW I like API for pH, alkalinity and calcium; Salifert for alkalinity and magnesium, Nyos for nitrate and PO4; Red Sea for nitrate and PO4.

To help you sort all the opinions you can get check this comparison test done by DFMAS
