Good to see a new grower... a new hydro grower!

As to which hydro method is best, I think that question is unanswerable. All of them are good... some more difficult than others... some are simpler... some are easier to setup... etc.

How to choose? Well, you've just got to see what there is and pick-one you like.

Air stones = those are the little stones at the bottom of fish aquariums that release a "wall of air bubbles".... those are air stones. There are also "air ropes" I think they're called... same shit, only a long flexible tube with lots of holes.

As to the meters, if you want to go full out, you can buy a meter that has readings for the liquid nutrient mix::: temperature, pH, EC/ppm, TDS.

Hydro nutrients::: I see four options...
1- General Hydroponics 3-part series...
2- Advanced Nutrients
3- Karmaxul's organic grow nutes...
4- your own concoction

Well, I've got to go... but I'm sure many more people will give you a lot of valuable input by the end of the day. These boards are great dude!

Peace Brian,
