I have mostly snap on - but a good few halfords profesional which i have found to be good. I looked at one of those sets that someone had - only problem was, the T55 socket in the set wouldn't take a V6 head off - probably more chance of taking your head off - It narrowed in after the T55 bit - you can buy a 1/2 inch one from halfords that does do the job.
Cam gears too T50 I have had snap on ones snap off - giving a good belt to the head
so be careful using these sets on Extra tight bolts!!!!!!
One of the most handy tools to get for V6 work is a 10mm ratchet spanner. great for getting that coolant outlet pipe out - I also bought the halfords torx spanner set......... most unused set of spanners in my box - why cos they are not angled heads
Best recent tool buy Laser ratchet with a special head - its hinged around the ratchet part - this is ideal to get a good swing - usually you tend to get a couple of clicks of the ratchet and then hit something- or your knuckles do - this just hinges out of the way Its brilliant!!

I can vouch for the jcb makro offer - - - - amazing value
I am also amazed that so many people rate halfords. I am not disagreeing, not at all, i have no experience of there socket sets. Just read a similar forum elsewhere slating them - It was a rover site so they probably dont know much.
If the guys on here say go halfords, then go halfords.
so Sealey or clarke anyone i need a new torque wrench......
