Without wanting to get into an argument, a square is essential, a combination square is useful. In my neck of the woods, at any one boot-sale you will find several try squares that can be had for a couple of pounds, whereas good combination squares are much rarer. It took me years to find a good combination square, during which time I did stacks of work with fixed squares.
For me the most useful features of the combi square are the mitre, and its ability to square in restricted spaces.
Get what you can get.
