Normally I would look for a set that has at least one set of cross-locks, but I can't seem to find any on Amazon. You can get the cross-locks separately I guess. I don't use them as much but they are sometimes quite useful.
Micro-Mark has a lot of good tweezers, but you'll pay more than the Amazon cheapies.
I found tweezers helpful, but even more helpful for me was a toothpick. I would basically put the component on the board, flip it right side up with tweezers and the push it into place and hold it (if needed) for soldering with a toothpick.
