What is your personal input on ketone test strips?

Hello!
I am researching the best options for how to test ketone levels, and I wanted to get information from people that I can ask questions. My girlfriend and I are thinking about getting the blood testers (it measures blood glucose too). The strips are more convenient, but my girlfriend says that you have to be very precise with them and watch hydration levels closely. We are both looking for the best method that works, while trying to keep costs low. Is there such an equilibrium?
So for those of you that test ketone levels in ketosis....what is your experience?

Never used them, but I'm guessing my personal input would have to be urine? :huh:
Sorry, man. I couldn't resist. But maybe this bump will get your thread more helpful attention.0
