My advice is to buy the best you can afford. I pushed the boat out nye on 50 years ago and am still using the same tools. If buying new, avoid such brands as Silverline (IMHO) that will disappoint you at the vital moment. Ebay can be a happy hunting ground - there are always plenty to choose from. A careful purchase of well respected brands (many of which have already been mentioned in this thread) will probably see you right.
As has been suggested by Alan and Malcolm, you dont need a huge set to carry around and (in BSF) 1/4, 5/16/ 3/8 will serve you needs. One or two of each - perhaps - open ended and ring/combination will be ok for most roadside repairs. Larger sizes to hang up in the workshop..
