Personally, I don't think that any of the "over the counter" methods are all that accurate- I think the best you can do with them is asses upward or downward trends.
Case in point- I have one of the Tanita bodyfat scales- which measure by electrical impedance, and are *supposed* to be pretty good. My scale says my bodyfat percentage is 25.4%, while the calipers weilded by my trainer (who has an MS in exercise science) is 30.1%. Which to believe?
