If you are using a hand drill then 5% cobalt bits are probably the best drill bits for you as they will certainly drill most hard metals you will encounter including stainless steel.
The more cobalt a drill bit contains the harder the metal you will be able to drill however, the increase in cobalt has a downside in that it makes the drill bit more brittle.
However if you are drilling in a very controlled fashion using a pedestal drill with variable speed controls and you are drilling a very difficult metal 8% may be a better option. However even under controlled drilling you will have the increased chance of breaking the bit.
