What do you think of this?

Or should I go with the name brand stuff ?

Like 3M?

I looked for it but could find no multi size pack.

If you want good quality stuff - do NOT get it from unknown suppilers from Ebay.
(Unless someone here can recomend a particular suppiler on Ebay)

Use the usual electronics suppliers : Farnell/Element14 etc

You could try the hobbiest suppliers like Sparkfun.

They will have good quality stuff for reasonable prices.

I never had problems with those variety packs. I'm not even sure what can go wrong here. You heat it, it shrinks.

I have only used it for low voltage stuff. Not sure if there are any issues at high voltages.
Macbeth:
Before heat-shrink existed consumer level we all managed to solder wires without it (and still do). It's nicer than bare wire or electrical tape but not essential.
I'm assuming as a beginner this guy is not a linesman working on kV stuff.  ;D
Jwillis:
What you have there is good for most general purpose applications.But if your interested here's a PDF that shows an example of  varying types and applications from this particular manufacturer.
