So I bought two sets.
This one from Amazon for $25. I've had it about a week. I expected it to be totally use once and dispose of the bit. Surprisingly, the bits are proving stronger than the screws! So far so awesome. $0.12/bit

I also plunked down $100 for a 52 piece set from fap-off Snap-on Store Hasn't arrived yet so I can't comment on quality. $1.81/bit

At 15x the price the fap-off should be AWESOME! I notice snap-on brands them as "blue point." I hope that's not an indicator of lower quality or something.
 
I am a fan of Milwaukee ptoducts, for their quality and endurance.

I have a brother in the trades who absolutely swears by them -- and he punishes tools like no other . . .
Generally I like dewilt power tools but I do use mulwaukee phillips bits. Mainly on account of the local big box store sold them 15 in a plastic case where the dewilt bits were just in a blister pack.
 
What is Blue Point Tools?
Blue Point is a lower-end tool brand of Snap-On. They are made with the Snap-On specifications but different finish. Though Snap-On owns Blue Point, manufactures are contracted to make Blue Point tools. Blue Point tools do not have a Snap-On name on them. They are the second in quality from Snap-On. The tools are simple, sturdy, functional, and able to fulfill the basic functions with minimum error.
