Old Kodak heavy glass beakers, cylinders in decent condition, are good choices, but be careful to no pay "collector" prices, they do come stained yellowed, but do the job.
I also use Anchor glass measuring cups, up to a gallon, but glass labware for cylinders, which would be my choice.
You can give yourself a better grip and safer, breaking drop result, by repeatedly spraying that famous TV rubberizing material onto well marked glassware.
Wait untill the coatings dry, and it's needed to measure to a fine line, then use a pen knife or razor blade/knife to cut out a square opening over the marking needed, to see it better.
Four to six coatings Should(?) help keep broken glass measures from running all over the development/sink area, IMO.
