Exhaust Stud Drill Bits

I'm about to tackle my broken exhaust studs. I need to buy some cobalt left hand bits. For those who have done this already, what sizes will I need? I know I should buy a few of each and I don't want to buy a whole set since I know I won't use most of them. Also, what brands are good? I've searched and found some made by Hanson, Neiki, USA Pro, Northern Tool, etc.

I know it's going to suck, but it's the front manifold and I know it's been done before by many with the engine in. I'll buy some from Harbor Freight. Hoping to drill on center so I don't have to waste any more money on helicoils.

I had my old broken studs removed by having a bolt welded on to them and then simply removed with a ratchet and socket
