Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong section

I have just started playing in a Pathfinder campaign (may also be starting a 4e D&D as well?).
My previous tabletop dice gaming experience is Vampires (about 15 years ago, Wheel of Time (1 campaign) & a friend's homemade game.

I am wondering, for Pathfinder, what are the most commonly/most often used dice when starting out with a group at level 1?

When starting out what is the best configuration for a "set" of dice? I have 2 full 7 die sets and I am wondering which dice I should be adding on (like extra d20s or d8s etc...) to make an optimal "set" of dice.

I tend to be fairly superstitious, I DO NOT like using other people's or "communal" dice. Also, I REALLY do NOT like re-rolling a die more than once per action if I can avoid it. So I guess I am asking which ones am I most likely to need "extras" (more than 2) of and how many extra of each?

Thanks
