Save them, but not in a big drawer. Every time you need an Allen key for something specific, tape it to it or store it with the item. For example my dining room table has the Allen for the bolts it uses taped to the underside of the table. Something feels wobbly, easy fix. No need to hunt a specific key out of the tool box.
I used to do this. Then I got a nice set of Allen and torx keys. I don't keep disposable shit anymore, I keep good, organized tools.
I have a great set as well, but that doesn't mean I want to go to my tool chest to grab them.
I have a proper set of keys and masking tape anything that comes with a kit
Same. Saves a bunch of time and effort pulling out the nice set and finding out if it's in standard or metric.
