Can you recommend drill bit set? Brand/type

[visor_down]

Hi all

After a basic set of drill bits, having gone through numerous cheap sets I was looking for something of better quality.

Can anyone recommend a set, or particular brand that are known to last?
Also whether cobalt etc are best ones to get

Looking to drill wood and steel / alu for general diy and odd metal work projects.
Not sure how much reasonable quality ones go for so budget is flexible
Cheers

Rocol's the best I've used.
