Default Squeezer Set's

Ok the empennage for my -8 is here. I still have a month before I move to Aurora, IL, house shopping is done just finagaling on price. I have a question about squeezer sets or dies. I bought an Avery pneumatic squeezer and will be ordering the "main squeeze" soon. What dies should I buy for my project? I know I need the dimple dies, but which rivet sets should I get? Seems like there are a plethera of sizes and lengths. Need a little advice!

Thanks for the replys in advance!
Michael

470AD4 (1/8 inch) rivet set, 1/8 and 3/32 dimple dies, plus a few flats. You'll also want a back-rivet set and a flush rivet set.
