Looking for a great set of countersinks for hardwoods with non-marring adjustable depth stops. I primarily will use them for installing drawer fronts, handles, cabinets, and general flush screwing with normal screws, like from McFeely's. I'd like to cut clean, round, countersink holes, with a replaceable bit, rock solid depth stop, and will get a set for each size screw.
My basic set of Snappy's cut terribly:

Here's the drills I am aware of:
Amana, carbide, ball bearing stop, tapered bit

Amana, carbide, AlTin coated, ball bearing stop, straight bit

Amana, carbide, ball bearing stop, slow spiral bit

Amana, carbide, low-friction stop, straight bit

Lee Valley, look like Amana?

Festool (expensive, worth it?)

Fisch, I like their forstner bits, so why not?

Whiteside, would need additional depth stop

Fuller, HSS, tapered, only 2 depth stops - I'd like one for each cutter, and I don't need plug cutters

Snappy, low friction non marring ball bearing stop, straight bit

What else am I'm missing? Which would you recommend? I shouldn't need tapered, right?
