With the discussion about accurary it reminds me that it also is about what you do. While I am a  fan of Petterson Tuners, I can say that with any tuners remember to hit the string near the 12th fret. That way you generate less overtones which migtht throw off the accuracy or speed. With something plugged into your guitars output, select the neck PU and roll down the tone for precise and fast tuning.

I know these might read kinda basic, but I personally did not know about these tips for a long time and man do they make a difference when it comes to speed and accuracy.

I use Peterson StroboStomp Classic Tuner for about a year now and can truly recommend it. It`s extremely accurate, versatile when it comes to tuning different tuning/string instruments, Buzz Feiten Tuning System (my Dean Caddy has it) supported, fully programmable, capo mode available (switching from e.g standard tuned guitar to C# takes no time) and it`s built like a tank. Quite expensive but it`s worth it. Great stuff.

I love my Peterson too although often fall back to my Polytune
