Regular twist drill bits work fine for smaller holes and spade bits (speedbore) work great for bigger holes for me.

Sometimes they don't even need to be super-sharp! It's plastic!

I use regular wood bits for smaller screw/bolt holes, but I'll use a step-bit for bigger holes.

Depending on the hole size, the holesaw bits are good too.
