I make my own leads too. I picked up spools of quality test lead wire years ago, and have a supply of banana plugs and test clips. My favorite analog meter is the Simpson 260.
That is a model that has been on the market many years and has undergone lots of revisions. The oldest ones that I am familiar with have pin jacks. Then they went to banana jacks. The newest model I own uses reverse banana plugs. I haven't made any leads fot that one.
The meter I have out for daily use has banana jacks.
