Strip: Drilling through hull

In the next couple days, I'll drill through the bow and stern for toggle lines. I seem to recall some horror stories resulting from use of the wrong type of bit. If I remember....

forstner bit = BEST
brad-point bit = OK ( but maybe too small a diameter )
spade bit = BAD
regular wood bit = BAD

Any comments?
Thanks.
