Which screwdrivers would be the most recommended ones to dismantle or open cameras and lenses?

I have been using a couple from a local hobby store but they leave a lot to be desired. I have noticed that especially in lenses, one needs more torque to open the screws. I have also had to file away the tips of the drivers to fit some Canon screws.

The usual sizes that I have used so far are PH00, 2.5 mm and 1.4 mm. I am thinking of buying a set of better screwdrivers. What sizes should I be looking for? I see micro-tools mentioned here as a source. Any others that I should try?

Thanks.
