After I Buy Adcraft LIPC-8 8 oz Stainless Steel Deluxe LadleLadle seems well built and doesn't appear that it will break too readily. This is just the right size to fit in a drawer so thats nice that it doesn't need to be stored elsewhere. Not sure if kitchen drawers are "standard" but it fits in ours. We bought this as our only ladle in the house was 2oz and it took forever when canning.
We haven't used it for canning yet, but with the rolled over lip around the ladle I'm sure it will be fine and relatively drip free. We've used it for serving squash soup and chili and it has been great for that.
I'd recommend this ladle.
UPDATE after 1 year:
After owning this for a year and using it for canning and every thing else I would still highly recommend this ladle. It is quite large and barely fits in our kitchen drawer and does get banged around a lot in the draw (always seems to be in the way) but it has held up well and is still in good shape. This is a quality buy. If you want/need a large ladle I would absolutely recommend this ladle.
Since I saw it asked (and it was asked in my comments) this ladle is 13 3/4" overall length (as near as I can measure) from the bottom of the bell to the top of the curve in the handle
