I do all my own work on my cars and I would recommend both including a torque wrench and a set of crow foot wrenches to torque those bolts in tight places. Depending on how much you plan on doing it's good to have a set of sockets in all three drives; 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". When it comes to brands I have a mix of everything. You'll find that the cheaper the tool usually the larger it is in order to stand up to the force. Snap-on and Mac Tools are usually low profile and easier to work with in cramped quarters were Craftsman and Proto use are bulkier but get the job done. The brand of tools I buy depends upon how often I use it so I buy a lot of specialty tools I may only use once in a blue moon at Harbor Freight and I also like their impact sockets. They work great and I have yet to break one plus when I need to machine one time specific use it doesn't cost much to replace.
