My personal view (for what little that is worth) is that an incident meter is the best solution when shooting either slide film or digital, as both need exposure to be pegged to the highlights for best results. A true spot meter is the best tool for negative film, as it is best served by exposing for the shadows.

Agreed, but for landscape work the only sensible choice is a spot meter regardless of what capture medium you're using. (I suppose one could run up the mountain in the distance to take an incident reading, but without a handy helicopter or hot air baloon, the sky would be a bit tricky ) Provided you use it properly (and I'm not for one moment claiming that I always manage this!) it works fine for trannies/digital.
