I'll second Joe's comment. The absolute worst allen keys are the kind that come along with something like a set of furniture from Ikea. They're made to be used once and that's about it. After that throw them away. It's well worth while to spend the coin to get a decent, high quality set of keys. They will fit better and hold up longer.
I'll also give a +1 to Bill's previous comment. The smaller hex key bolts are the worst. Clearly, they are not intended to handle much torque. The most common place I've encountered a problem with these (non-bike) are in places like the headless hex bolts used to secure something like a thin mobile antenna wire to an antenna mount. Hopefully they don't get applied to bikes much except with accessories.
