Just D8s and D6s... not an array of "1 of every kind," and not "here's 20d8".
Any recommendations? I don't mind spending a bit more, but I want to stay away from anything metal (damaging) or stone (breakable), as my kids get into the dice regularly. Also prefer made in the US vs. China.

The simplest thing is to check out the Chessex catalog (http://www.chessex.com/CHESSEX_Catalog%202011.pdf). Around page 18 is where they start listing the individual dice available in bulk. Pick out what you want and then make an order.

Otherwise, your best option is your local game store and just buy the dice you need.

With an average single die cost of $1.85 vs Chessex average cost (http://www.chessex.com/Dice/Opaque%20Dice/25408.htm) of $.55? I would go with Chessex

There's also your GameScience dice if you want fair. Although they do tend to be a bit pricey (in generally if you have a bunch from different batches and grab at random you'll be close enough to average for most games to work properly, but beware of buying batches of d6s, I have one set of them that really likes 4s*).

* A weirdly useful number to the towards in 3d6 systems, as your rolls tend to look about average, but played havoc in Shadowrun.
