I've looked around on the web and these seem to be good general purpose drill bits that will work on wood, aluminum and non-hardened steel:
Milwaukee Thunderbolt Drill Bit set 29 piece 1/16 - 1/2 w/ reduced shank in metal case.

Amazon has these for $87.78.

My Mikita cordless has a 3/8" chuck so I need the reduced shank to handle bit sizes larger than 3/8.

I don't have to have the "best money can buy" but my experience with tools is that it's always a mistake to go cheap.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Unless I am working with metal or plastic I have always preferred middle of the road for drill bits, there is nothing worse than banging a pristine drill bit on a nail or breaking one when working at odd angles.

I prefer the Milwaukee brand btw, but like the Dewalt case.
