Pros & Cons
Pros
In comparison to the stanley, squareness is equal, but ease of reading the measurements goes to the starrett. The scribe fits tightly in the head and has no chance of falling out. Theres no slop in the ruler.
Starrett combination square is one of those tools you will use often, so why not get the best? I use it for woodworking and it's fantastic. The scratch awl is handy, too.

I bought this square to replace the one that i owned for decades and as you can see from the picture that it shattered when i dropped it

They work but have a fair amount of slop to them and can be frustrating to set to very fine marks
