What, in your opinion, is the best brand of molecular model set? And what is your recommendation for buying a set that does myriads of things from
O-Chem, I/O-Chem, Stereo-chem, or anything else, and also be able to make multiple models at once?

Huh? Making multiple models at once isn't usually possible. Unless you create your own set. Generally speaking, you produce one fairly complex
molecule, and you start to run out of pieces.
Most set are expensive too.

I found a molecular model set at a half priced book-store for I think it was 10 dollars. I don't know if anyone else would be as fortunate as I was
but it's always good to keep the eyes peeled

i have a beautiful Bakelite hard sphere set from the forties, its very nice but i only ever use it to explain diastereomers to uninterested people, a
waste really.

I've used Maruzen HGS kit in both studies and research. This kit has proven to be a good visualization aid in complex transformations of organic
compounds. Models can also give some hints to steric preferences and approximate distances within molecules.
