Yep, try and get 'Dormer' ones, bit more expensive but they tend to last longer

Ive had good results with a Wurth spot weld drill bit. again more expensive but if you go slow will last and do a good job

Never had any before but recently bought a 6mm & 8mm, cheap items but work well.

I used to drill an incredibly large amount of stainless steel and my company used to buy the cheapest bulk bits available. The key is to keep the bit well lubricated and it will perform well for a prolonged period.

I bought some from eBay. Lasted a while.
Sharpened them with grinding disc. Not perfect but smashed through both layers of panel on the first couple of spots!
