If you want the most reliable, accurate torque wrench, use a beam-style. If you want convenience (especially for out of position wrenching), get a clicker style.
On the clicker style, be sure to relax the adjustment compression spring fully after each use. I have a 3/8" craftsman clicker style that I wouldn't hesitate to use for lower values. Although IME with using the 3/8" clicker, on M6-1.0mm pitch bolts, (which seem likely what you're dealing with based on the 7 ft-lb torque requirement), especially if going into aluminum with anti-seize, be very careful not to overtorque/strip.
