>Learn to sharpen by hand on a bench grinder.
This, but: Use a disc grinder instead.
I have pic related, and sharpening drill bits here works so much better than on a bench grinder, and you can do much more than just sharpening. I use 120 grit paper.
You can use the table to lay down your hands properly, and if you just move your fingertips to turn the drill bit to sharpen the other edge, you get much better symmetry than on a bench grinder.
I once sharpened a 20-pack of drill bits 1-10mm, took me under 15 minutes. I drill stainless steel often, and if something about my technique was wrong, I'd surely notice here. If the angles are a bit off, it does not matter for a home gamer, as long as it's symmetric.
As for the best drill brand, I found "Drill Force" bits from Aliexpress very convincing.
