Torque wrench recommendations?

The cheap ones from the auto parts stores with the pointing needle are more accurate than the nice 'clickers'. I've been using the same $25 torque wrench for 10 years. The 'flat beam' needle torque wrenches are more accurate than my 'round beam' but it really isn't necessary.
 
For a complete range - 1/2" and a 3/8" drive.

1/4" ones are hard to get the right attachments for imo.
It's also debatable whether you need a torque wrench for 6Nm etc.
 
Snap-On.

Period.

Almost everything: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=hand&item_ID=55372&group_ID=955&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

Rear Wheel Nut: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=hand&item_ID=55376&group_ID=955&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

That should cover 95% of your needs on the bike. (The truly anal will get the 1/4" drive for the small stuff)

My Dad always swore by Snap-On, pricey but incredible quality. Having said that, any Snap-On torque wrench? They seem to have quite a few to pick from.
