If a person was gonna buy a small socket set for home
use.... would it be wise to get only deep well sockets
instead of standard depth as deep well might be more
useful?

Advice?

Buy the standard set. Later, buy the one or two deep sockets you may need.
There will be times that a deep socket does not allow you to get into a
spot, probably more often that you need a deep one. I have maybe two or
three deep sockets and that is all I ever used in my life. If you are
heavily into mechanical repairs you'd probably already have both sets.

Buy a decent set and it will last you for your lifetime. Cheap tools are no
bargain if they break or strip or cause your bolt to strip. Mine are about
40 years old and in that time I've only replace a couple that broke, more
from abuse than wear.
