If you're looking for a PC style set that extend below the router about 1/4", check out the Shopfox set sold by Grizzly. They're shorter than my other set (Freud), also PC style.

I like the deeper ones when I'm using them with edging while the shorter ones while using patterns.

Everybody on the planet uses the Porter Cable style bushings. Everybody except Craftsman, Skil and Bosch. This is because Bosch decided it was easier to have a simple twist lock design instead of the threaded collar design. I have to tell you its nice to slide the lever less than a quarter turn to change bushings, much faster change over. Of course I have an adapter to use Porter Cable style in my quick change set. Talk about covering the bases!

Like aniceone2hold, I have a Bosch plunge router and because I had 2 other sets of PC collars, I bought the PC collar adapter. Only thing I had to do was do a little cleanup on it because the collars didn't seat fully. Having done that, it works perfect. When not available I made my own adapters to use the same collars on all my routers.
