Flush, doesnt matter.

roundover, personal preference.

Like supa said, flush doenst matter on the size. For a roundover, I recommend a 3/8" bit. This is because, when you go to your over your port ends, it will give you a perfect rounded edge. 3/8+3/8+3/4. You can get a few different sizes of bits also for rounding over other parts.

Freud are my favorite, DeWalt bits are also pretty good and sometimes easier to find. Never tried CMT. Good bits (and blades for that matter) are a huge part of getting quality work.

I use http://www.infinitytools.com for all my bits. Of all the ones I've used, I love them the most. Extremely high quality, and after a couple months, there still as sharp as the day I got em...and I use them quite often.

Probably, they make a lot of things.

They sell lots of things but they actually make nothing. All Craftsman tools are outsourced.

Most of their stuff is OEM'd by the major tool companies, Bosch, dewalt, etc...
