Perfmon Counters

I was viewing screencast DAT306 of Teched 2007 by Kevin Kline. He suggests the following counters as the most important when monitoring a Sql Server Test in Perfmon.

1. Pages/sec
2. Bytes Total /sec
3. % Disk Time
4. Avg Disk Queue Length
5. % Processor Time
6. Full Scan/sec
7. Buffer cache hit ratio
8. Transactions per sec
9. Log growths
10. User connections
11. Average latch wait time
12. Number of deadlocks per second
13. Average wait time ms
14. Memory grants pending

When you add the counter you can choose the server name to be monitored. It is highly desirable not to monitor on the same server you are testing; as the act of monitoring may skew the results.

There are many performance objects - so how do we know which to use - what is useful inour scenario? The best advise is to learn from other people, hence above Kevin Klines's suggested list.
