I'm looking for a in-circuit cap tester, any opinions or ideas which  model 
seems to work the best?

Hi Dan, 
You didn't mention what you would be using it for but I bought a tester a  
few months ago that worked great. This came recommended from someone on the Test 
 Equipment list.
 
The unit is an ESR low ohms meter. I believe it was originally developed  
here in the states but now is distributed in Portugal. I used it in a TEK 492  
scope power supply and it turned in over ten or so bad caps while still soldered 
 onto the board. Great unit.
 
Take a look here:

Good luck,
