That would depend upon what attribute of the objects I would be measuring.
Weight: grammes
length: metres
area: square metres
volume: litres, or cubic metres
And depending upon the value of the measurement, I would either use the base unit or prefix it by a multiplier (eg centi- for hundredths; Kilo- for thousands, etc).
