Re: Unibit vs. regular drill bit
That was the right choice. I bought mine from HandHeldLegend, and it made drilling the extra holes trivial. I doubt I'll ever use this bit for another else..but it's never bad to have another tool in the box!
Re: Unibit vs. regular drill bit
I brought a unibit set from the hardware store and they work amazingly well. Mine are sharp enough out of the box to use by hand. Use blue tape or a marker to mark the edge of your desired hole size this stops you from acidently drilling too far.

Any decent brand will work (I bought a pile of Swiss made ones for a few bucks a piece at a garage sale, probably should have bought all of them), get the shorter/fatter ones as the skinny/longer ones break easier (even though some of the skinny/longer go up to 7/8" which seems ideal). Get yourself some of these https://mechanicguides.com/best-drill-bit-for-metal/
To get the start perfect then use the unibit to go to the size of the threads on the knockout punch and you won't have to use the hash marks on the punch to center it.
Now after typing this I'm thinking why would you be buying drill bits to use at work, the employer would be providing those, so I'm guessing you want one/some for personal use? From looking at flea bay they're quite expensive, I'd wait for a deal unless you really need them for something specific. I've got several and don't use them all that much, mostly just when I'm using knock out punches. For the money I'd probably use a starter bit and a regular drill bit.

Re: Unibit vs. regular drill bit
Is one necessary? Nope but as they can be picked up inexpensively and have plenty of utility outside the GBZ I would say go ahead and get one unless your budget is extremely tight.
