Anything larger than 2mm and it wont matter much, but a top quality 1.5mm and 2mm is essential. The rest of your kit you can get away with anything that suits your budget
For imperial, you can substitute sizing and an imperial 1/16th will save you from the torture of a stripped 1.5mm grub screw. (once)
I couldn't agree more with this! Any 2.5 or bigger works fine since there is enough contact to work, but i have stripped out so many 1.5mm and 2.0mm screws due to cheap screwdrivers.
I would agree that the dynamites are pretty good, but I'd say get the red metal handled ones, not the rubber handled ones - the handles are too small to get any torque. The bigger the handle the better from my experience. even the red handled dynamite ones are a pain if you're trying to break loose a really stubborn screw. I like the larger handles like on the duratrax. I'd like to try some new ones as my dynamites are getting sloppy, but nowhere online does it ever say how large the handles are.
The MIP's are fantastic quality, i have a 1.3mm for a specific heli that I had and It's easily the best quality screwdriver I have. I will probably have my LHS order up the 2.0mm in case the handle is small so I don't have to buy it. ha
