Sorry to clog up the site with another "which is the best XX to buy" request
but I did a google search along with a look at Fine Woodworking Online and
couldn't find and reviews of forstner bits.

I am looking for a set of high quality forstner bits that will stay sharp
and cut clean holes a long time from now. Any recommendations, good or bad?

CMT and Freud both make excellent carbide sets. The best tool steel
set I've ever seen was made by a company called Connecticut Valley,
probably under another name today. They were original pattern (no
center spur), expensive as hell, and wonderful.

For those who want HSS bits of the ultimate quality (and price):

Seven bit set is about $174.
