I don't think you'd go wrong with any of those. I can suggest
checking eBay, though. I bought a full set of new DW hole saws with
two mandrels (didn't they use to have a variety show on TV?) for a
song.

Just make sure they are bi-metal.
You will need two (2) different sized spindles.
Buy some extra pilot drill bits.
Grainger is/was a good source.
If it was my money, I'd treat hole saws like router bits.
Buy the spindles up front, then the hole saws as required.
Forget the kits.
Have fun.

I just bought some from Lee Valley Tools. They're a Morse Cobalt Master
product.

I also bought the quick release arbour. It saves some frustration. It does
need a drill with a 1/2" chuck, so keep that in mind if you buy one.
