Those starter sets are alright in theory, but I don't think you even know what disc you're going to get in each category. And they are wildly different.
I usually recommend these three discs to start with, and they're the three I use 99% of the time.

The Viking is a good driver and in the champion style makes for a really good forehand shot. Pretty much all my forehands are thrown with this disc, easier to control than others I've tried and responds well when you try to throw it a little softer or harder than normal.

It's a mid range but the comet is great for driving in the right situations. I only throw this one backhand (traditional backyard frisbee throwing style) and when you get it right it just glides super straight for a long time. Backhand shots inherently break left (for a right handed thrower) but this one minimizes the impact if kept level with the ground.

I can throw my Archangel further than any other disc I own. I only throw it backhand (though it would be easier than the comet to throw forehand) and will actually break slightly to the right if thrown properly (opposite the way the backhand tends to break on its own), and you can always tilt it left a little bit to give it the traditional break. My only problem with this disc is knowing when not to use it, because if you're not careful you can overshoot certain shots.

Re: Chud and Rudd's all things Disc Golf
Just buy one disc, kt. A mid range like a shark or something. Fairly inexpensive, play with just it and see if you like it. Or see if you can borrow someone's. Then, when you love it, buy more

I'd go with the Comet over the Shark, but yeah that's good advice.
