You won't regret buying Harris/Fluke for most tools. That combo holster is pretty handy (punchdown, snips, stripper, flashlight and sharpie.)
I carry a 9' Gorrilla ladder, (it extends to 21' straight out) and it fits in my Chevy HHR. It's a bit heavy, but I rather carry fewer tools around (makes it easier to find stuff.)
I carry a Palidin Powerplay, it handles all my plier needs and it's nice to have all those other built in tools on hand (I wouldn't use the 66 tool to punch down a 25 pair, but for a quick move it works good.)
I always seem to loose those banjos, so I usually end up using a jack with cross connect hanging off
