Best beginners lockpicking set?

What would you recommend? I was looking at the Southord range. Would you recommend them?

Thanks!

What lockpick sets to buy for beginners <- this thread may be of some assistance.

I own a couple of southord sets and I love them. (MPXS-20 & C2010) The slimlines are my favourite but out of the 50+ tools i've got I really only use a small hook and a half diamond. All I can say is it is worth the little extra money to make sure you get a set with all stainless steel handles, (the MPXS-08 is such a set and really is all you need to get going) they make the tools a lot more comfortable to use and they just feel like they have a lot more quality to them.

i would go the Southord slim line as well, I got the C1510 set but there is only 3 picks i use it it, which are all the hook picks, what ever you decide get ones with the thicker metal handles, also might be worth ordering a couple of spare picks for if you bend or break any.
