Imperial will be fine. And if you plan on getting ball-ended don't go for the cheapest as a snapped off ball in an allen socket is no fun at all

sorry to jump on your thread, but do IONs use imperial as well?
I need to replace one of the plastic spoons on mine.

Yup

Almost all PB stuff uses American threads and fittings, so an inch-sized set of allen keys will fit most things. The exceptions are Angels and Spyders, which use metric parts (though standard things like rail threads, ASA etc. are obviously still American for compatibility.)
