If you are using raised panel bits, make sure you have a multi-speed router.

I picked up a 40-piece 'Maximum' set from Canadian Tire when the went on sale for 70% off and have been satisfied with my purchase, but bought a Freud flush trim bit at full price.

You may want to check out the Canadian Woodworking forums for advice.

As with most things, you get what you pay for with router bits. A big multi-set is fine to make sure you have the pieces to do any odd job you are interested in. However purchasing a good Freud (or other quality brand) bit for common tasks is worthwhile.
