Welcome!
Most would recommend that you skip the $2 and $10 chips for a normal cash game. A set consisting of denominations that increase by 4x or 5x works great, is more efficient in play, and allows you to get more bank with the same number of chips.
Keep your eye out for cards mold sets for sale. Here's a great example, and it looks like it's still available.

I just ordered a set of Majestic chips from Apache Poker Chips. They have the denominations you want, have phenomenal customer service, and the price isn’t bad at all for what they are from everything I researched. Mine got to the house yesterday and I can’t wait to get home to get my hands on them!
There are fair priced ceramics out there also and some smoking deals in the for sale forum. It really just depends on what strikes your fancy.

Edit: I just noticed you ASKED about ceramic chips specifically. My reading comprehension is lacking today.
Also, I answered not knowing your budget. Cards molds, or other Chinese ceramics from Tina or Anita are a nice value at around 40¢/chip.
But I would be remiss if I didn't mention @ABC Gifts and Awards/ @BR Pro Poker, who make top notch ceramics, and offer terrific service. You won't get the stacking or spinner issues that you will likely have from the Chinese vendors. These ceramics will cost you closer to $1/chip.

Even though the OP asked about ceramics, the "china clays" like Majestics, pharaohs, and the larger 43mm Royals (my personal favorite) are also great. All from apachepokerchips.com.

Thanks. Most of the time we play $1-$2 blinds and everyone usually buys in for around $100-$150 so I thought the $2 and $10 chips would come in handy.

I was unaware of the abc gifts and awards but I do like the Valentino and Nevada jack chips on br pro! Do you know if they ever run any specials?
Welcome to PCF!
Most on here would disagree, including myself. You won't miss the $2 and $10 chips. I think they just clutter up the table and pots. 1/5/25/100 is definitely more efficient.
Not that I'm aware of, but it wouldn't hurt to watch their site, and their posts on here. One nice thing about ABC/BR PRO sets is you can semi-customize them, i.e., you can change wording, colors, denoms, etc. to your liking. Both sites are operated by the same people, and are well-liked and respected vendors on PCF.

Not typically (though occasionally if you sign up for their email updates). Their advantage comes with bulk purchases.
You can get a set of 1000 fully custom chips for about $800, and a set of 1000 stock chips for about $730. They're well worth the money in my opinion.
If you want to do some homework, you can use this calculator to help determine how many chips you may need.

I think that's way more than I need. We usually have anywhere between 5-9 people.
I was thinking
200- $1
275- $5
25- $25
You won't break the bank if you don't get chips you don't need. Skip the $2 and $10.

I have a couple of Cards Mold cash sets that aren’t getting any use.
