If you do anything with RF, standard range inductors and chokes are a must.

Digital?

Be well-stocked in the 74xx, 74LSxx and 40xx lines.

I have a bunch (and I do mean a BUNCH) of caps, precision half-watt resistors and the like; I'll never use all of the particular values I have on-hand. A goodly-sized assortment is yours for the cost of postage.

What do you consider "standard" inductors and chokes?

1/5/10/50/100/220/470uH molded; 10 and 100mh form-wound. An assortment of toroid cores (for winding your own RF transformers) is a big help as well.

What sizes and mixes would you say are the best to keep on hand?

Amidon used to offer an experimenter's assortment that was a good starting point. 1/4"-3/4" ID should cover the majority of your high-frequency, low-power RF needs. If you want to build (for example) a balun for higher power you'll need to order a larger (2+ " ID) core but I wouldn't go out of my way to keep such a component in "stock".

gives a good rundown of mix vs frequency characteristics. Buy those cores useful to you at the frequency ranges which you are commonly utilizing in your projects.
