There's a reason why standard are standard and deep are "special".
Deep take up more room and often working clearance is an issue. As
your 1st set, I'd say get a set of standard, then a set of open end
wrenches. Then if you STILL find what are likely to be FEW needs for
deep, get whatever it is you need.

There are some things you can't work on with deep that you can with
standard because there isn't room over the nut or bold head for deep.
