About 95% of all my wrenching it use Craftsman 1/4" set, for bigger stuff like axles, sprockets, etc... I have a 3/8" set. All are 6 point sockets.
I have found that cheap sockets don't run true to size, which leads to rounding, which is no fun. Sometimes they crack as well.
Buy a quality set, no matter which brand Craftsman, Snap-On, Matco, etc will be with you for a lifetime. Most of mine are over 30 years old.
Also invest in a quality set of Allen keys, ball ends helps with angles. Bondhus for example.
Spend the money right the first time.
