I use a nice graduated Rubbermaid pitcher for both. I'm careful to rinse it out before each use and drain the water out before i put the chemicals in it.

I use a Pyrex 8 oz cup for small amounts like HCl, a 2 qt plastic pitcher for chlorine, and a 2 cup scoop for dry chemicals.
97 cent plastic kitchen measuring cup from Walmart here.
Pyrex (or any glass) near the pool is not a good idea. If you drop and break it, the slivers that land in the pool will instantly disappear. At least until they stab into someones foot.

One of the empty bleach bottles.
I cut out the material under the handle to make a large opening. Black magic marker was used to mark the fill line at 3 cups, 6 cups and 9 cups.

A plastic measuring cup, 1-cup total. But I use 12.5% so it's not so many cups at once.

Quart sized pyrex measuring cup. However, after reading all these comments, I think I'll switch to an old bleach container with sharpie markings. I miss my pyrex in the kitchen, and would hate it if it broke poolside.
For adding muriatic acid, I use a plastic measuring cylinder from Pampered Chef. It has two parts. The inner cylinder has a pour spout and is made of thick plastic similar to the material from which a muriatic acid bottle is made. The external sleeve is non-slip clear plastic with both wet and dry measured markings.
Plastic paint-mixing cup (with marked graduations) I picked up at my local Big Box store.

I use a plastic 32 oz plastic measuring cup I got at Target I believe. I liked it because it had a nice poring spout and graduated easy to read.
I need to get me one of these measuring cups everyone has. Today I have a bucket that was originally frozen Margarita mix with sharpie marks for quarts. I just do the math for number of cups in a quart. Measured the marks using a plastic Rubber-made tea pitcher with tap water.
