I read Carol Berg's Transformation and enjoyed it, but don't recall the made-up units of measurements (assuming that was the book in question.) The sequels were a little bit disappointing, as I thought they drifted off into a tangent, like this comment here.)
In my current writing, I was using imperial as the basic measurements - technically it should be cubits or whatever, but imperial is more intelligible and isn't as jarring as metres in a raw, typical fantasy setting.
