I strongly encourage you to budget for at least 16 racks of a workhorse chip and one rack of value chips. I went the NCV route for both chips because the need depending on where I'm putting these into play is a lot different.
At my place, we play as small as $25 buying you a rack of chips and essentially playing 0.50/1 limit. At JIJ, I usually will bring this set to use at the "circus lite" table, where $50 buys you a rack and we play 1/2 limit.
At other meetups, the games play bigger, up to 5/10 limit usually, and some players may opt to even buy in for two racks.
Keeping everything NCV keeps things fluid and flexible, and the value chips can be used to be 20x the worth of the workhorse chips, or one value chip per barrel of workhorse chips to keep it simple.
