I use the Niftech alignment gauge. Runs $25, works like a charm. Little bit of a learning curve. WILL set camber and toe angles, though I prefer to use my RPM camber gauge for setting that angle. It's also great for confirming that the rear axle is centered relative to the car. So relatively inexpensive I have one in my race kit and one on my bench.
If you're willing to spend more the Unity Tweak/Alignment station is pretty top notch. I've got one and have used it but prefer the simplicity/small size of my Niftech gauge. For $160 or so it DOES come with an integral tweak bar (add $50-60 to the Niftech if you don't already have one).
