Default Forstner bits.

I am in need of a few sizes of flat-bottomed holes.

The difference between HCS and HSS is well established, and worth the
extra few bucks to go to HSS.
But what about carbide?
Any sets you guys like? ( 1/4 - 1" in 1/8 increments would be fine.)
Lee Valley has a nice set.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Unless you'll be doing production work with them I don't think I'd spend
the extra money for carbide. I'd opt for quality HSS. Fisch bits are
an excellent choice. See:
