Well i reckon we need more information fella. We talking tournaments? How many players do you average? Rebuys? Unlimited rebuys? No rebuys? I only do Bounty chips but to each their own.
 
I have these:

For cash, the only one that is a real nice to have is the ‘All In’ as it does help prevent some confusion on big bets. The rest are completely unnecessary, but I still use them :)
 
As many as you need that will get some use.

I played in a game and got a little annoyed at the bomb pot buttons. It was cool at first, then it seemed like every other hand it was costing me $5 to see the flop. Then you get pocket aces and the entire table sees the flop, so now what? lol

You don't need any of these novelty chips.

If you choose to use any of them, it depends on how you want to use them.

If you want to run a bounty tournament, you're going to need 1 bounty chip per person. If it is a rebuy tournament, add on more if you chose to add bounties to re-entries.

For the NIT game, one per person.

For Bomb pots, it depends on how you use them. If you do a bomb pot every x minutes, then just one at the center of the table to signify the bomb pot. If you allow others to call a bomb pot, then one per person. But if you are allowing people to reuse them or buy more, you'll need more.

For rebuys, a rebuy chip is not really necessary. But if you want to use them, get a handful. You're probably not going to use more than 2 or 3 at a time.

For Show 'Em chips, probably one per player. But like any novelty chip, you can sell them for $5 each and offset costs of hosting (food/drinks/etc.)

Kill/Half Kill, not more than 1 per table.

Hi/Lo, not more than 1 per table.

Rabbit Hunt chips, again, it depends on how you are going to use them. I would say 1 per person, extras if you want to sell them to defer costs.

Whatever you do, get a couple extra of each in case they get misplaced, lost, etc.
