Default Socket Set

After spending time taking apart an MLRS, 432 APC's and Chieftain tanks, I've learned how invaluable a socket set can be.

So I am looking to get my first set. Although I am not sure which one would best suited to me.

I want to get a good quality set for £20 or less. I think I'll be going the Halfords Professional route since they have a lifetime warranty. There are two which seem to be in my price range:

36 piece, 1/4" which go from 3.5-14mm, but also has extension bar, ratchet and various screwdrive bits for £15:

18 piece socket set, 3/8" which goes from 9-20mm with 4 deep sockets and ratchet for £20:

So which one do you feel would be best suited for general use and working on my Haynes Roadster?

Any advice will be much appreciated.
