Almost 4 months later and some family problems that I needed to solve, I still didn't placed an order but I'll do over the weekend, decision is made.
Have found relatively cheap Yageo MF0204 series, which are nice and small (0,4W is only 3,4mm or about 1/8").
Only need your opinion about a quality :(

Was thinking to eventually order following:
1K, 1.2K, 1.5K, 1.8K, 2.2K, 2.7K, 3.3K, 3.9K, 4.7K, 5.6K, 6.8K, 8.2K, 9.1K
10K, 12K, 15K, 18K, 22K, 27K, 33K, 39K, 47K, 56K, 68K, 82K, 91K
100K, 120K, 150K, 220K, 270K, 330K, 390K, 470K, 560K, 680K, 820K, 910K

39 values @ 10pcs = about 40$ (+eventually 25% taxes) sounds OK for a starter kit.

Some value I don't need or need to add?

and you can always make more values by connecting series or parallel.
How many times I did it when chasing some values, specially weird values like 11.5K :(
Those I wrote are actually E12 (but 1% instead of 5%) plus I've added 9.1/91/910 which I dont even know if I'm gonna need ever. I dont even remember if I've seen 12 and 18 in Technics decks.

Yageo and KOA Speer both make fine metal film resistors

no worries, you can buy any values but, when working on decks, it will always happen that you need some value you don't have and then you will go with series or parallel ones. :p
