Ok this topic has probably been discussed before but what manufacturer of router bits do you find gives you the best bang for the buck?
Not necessarly cheep but I don't want to spend a fortune on bits either. Would like to get a good or great bit at a reasonable price.

I've got a set of bits I got from Grizzly that has been well worth the money. It was a 30 peice set and it now sells for $104.00. It has all the essentials including ,4 sizes of roundover bits, a chamfer bit and 5 different ogee bits. I use them all the time and have not had to resharpen yet.

I don't do a lot of routing, but usally use Viper or Grizzly. Both have worked very well for the price. I did buy most of my Viper bits on closeout (1/2" shanks for $2 - $5) so was a good bang for the buck.
