Flat bits are cheap, effective and quite hard to destroy.

Bosch fast cut flat bits are rapid, superb!
Only use an auger bit on old large wood joists.

Just buy a basic set, they are cheap as chips and usually cover your 12 to 32mm commonly used sizes.

What people fail to realise is that woodbits work better on a slower speed, they don’t need full trigger as they just burn out.
Used on a slower speed maybe 3/4’s you will drill just as quick with cleaner holes and the bit will last much longer.

Bosch self cut every time. you can frop on them cheap enough on amazon. Get a set of them by all means then you will have a variety, but I only ever carry 25mm normal, 14mm and 25mm long. Never really find myself needing anything else when it comes to holes in wood for cables.
Edit: oh and cheapo 20mm flat bit just for hole in plasterboard when you are surfacing something in YT2. 25mm can be a bit big for that and leave a bit of mess on show.
