Most of my bits are freud or CMT. I have also seen Whiteside bits recommended regularly.

I just bought that router....it was on sale for $49 at HD.
Just about any decent 1/4" shank bit is going to work. You're not going to be doing heavy routing with it. It's for trimming.
If I'm going to spend a lot of money on a router bit....it's going to be a 1/2" shank and special purpose.
The cost of getting router bits sharpened is almost as much as a new cheap bit.

That Router/trimmer comes with a 1/4” collet, do any 1/4” shank router bits that fit should work.
Just check to make sure the max RPM listed for the bit is 29,000rpms or less.
Bosch bought Freud, so any Bosch/Freud/Diablo bits should be fine.
Whiteside is a well liked USA made bit, there are several others as well.
One thing though.
For larger diameter bits, an anti kickback design is better for handheld routing.
Whiteside doesn’t use an anti kickback design.
Euro manufacturers like Freud and CMT do.
