I got some Dewalt masonry bits recently that have fluted shanks to stop them spinning and they've been great.
Bosch and Dewalt brad point bits seem to be the best rated on the Toolstation website.

If you are snapping bits below 4mm size in wood then drill slowly. I presume you are using them to make pilot holes for screws? For anything above that for wood bits then a reputable named brand will be fine.
For metal use HSS. For masonry use masonry
To be honest, bits below 4mm size don't last long and do tend to snap just because they are small.

Do you have any forstner bits? They tend to last longer and make nice clean cuts though the drilling is slower with them.

@Sam_w
Does anyone have recommendations for drill bit brands? Have killed most of my wood bits, and fed up of getting cheap sets and snapping them or them going blunt.
