Don't buy those types of knives that claim to be able to cut thru a tin can or a brick but never need sharpening. Whatever knives you do get, get a good sharpening steel to go with it - -and learn how to use it.

THe most versatile knife you get will be the chef's knife -- Most knife sets will come with a bread knife, unless you are a baker, you'll probably never use it, my other most used knife is my cleaver, they get sharpened before each use.
