    What would be the most ideal calibrator in a typical situation?

    spyder(1~5) or Xrite (i1 or color munki)?

    If typical means under $2000:

    -i1DisplayPro if you are going to use now or in the near future a monitor with HW calibration. If you are going to measure a huge measurement of patches for video LUT3D, it’s speed is worthly of the price.

    -Colormunki Display if above conditions do not apply. It’s accurate and it’s cheaper but it’s slower and you cannot use it with most/all HW calibration solutions.

    -one of the above colorimeters + one Xrite spectrophotometer (i1Studio or better an i1Pro2) for measuring most backlights accurately. Take a reference (spectral or coordinates) with the spectrophotometer, the measure with colorimeter corrected with that reference. Not all software supports this “spectrophotometer-colorimeter matching”. DisplayCAL does.
    This is 3x-10x more expensive than some of the previous solutions.

    One colorimeter, i1 display pro

    one spectrometer, i1 studio

    use i1 studio to creat correction  matrix for i1 display pro, then use i1 display pro to do the measuring.
