Default cutout for picture frames and mirrors

I'm Brand new at this, but would like to make picture frames and mirrors.
Which bit is best for the cut-out where the mirror, or picture goes?

Hi
This is the one I recommend

Picture Frame Rabbet Bits

http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shops...ram_rab_anchor

2 flute, carbide tipped bits with totally enclosed ball bearings.
Designed for making custom picture frames or mirrors.
The double stepped rabbet will cut either a 1/8" x 3/8" or 1/4" x 3/8" rabbet for your glass or mirror, and an additional 3/8" x 3/8" rabbet for your artwork and backing board.
Use for 1” or larger stock.

#8623 1/2" 1-7/8" 15/32" $30.00
#8624 1/2" 1-7/8" 19/32" $32.00
