Any bit that starts the hole, something that is 50 % smaller than the screw is good

Use a bit that is the same size as the actuall shaft in the center of the screws. So you dont want it to tbe the same diameter of the screw with the threads.

That didnt make much sense, but i dont know how to explain it.

And, I never countersink. im able to drive mine in far enough without doing so.

As do I. I also never "countersink" as my drill has enough torque to do it for me.
