What bits for the spindle?

[bkboggy]

I've compiled a list of sets that maybe good for starters, which one should I go with (unless someone knows a better one):

2 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=014

Total prices (shipping included), number of bits and price per bit:

1. $54.98 (50 bits for $1.10 each)
2. $28.00 (24 bits for $1.17 each)
3. $67.06 (66 bits for $1.02 each)
4. $52.99 (50 bits for $1.06 each)
5. $39.95 (15 bits for $8.93 each)
6. $93.99 (80 bits for $1.17 each)
7. $94.99 (100 bits for $0.95 each)
8. $70.50 (50 bits for $1.41 each)

Looking at that, #7 is the best deal and #5 is the worst... price-wise. However, I do not know the quality of the tools (especially the eBay ones). Seems like a lot of people are very happy with #5, but #7 offers a nice amount of bits for all kinds of work.

I need a good 1/2" hobby set for wood, foam and plastic for my 2.25 Hitachi router.

What do you guys think?
