Removing Broken Head Stud Well my luck ran out-was on my last stud and third pass when the speedmaster stud broke deep down in the block. #10 bolt fwiw.
Can anyone recommend a certain extractor set or easy out type tool?

Depends which cylinder.
I like left threaded drill bits to tap what's left of the old bolt. On most of the low torque bolts like the intake manifold I can get them out with just the drill bit
If you use an extractor, attach the extractor bit to a socket and turn the bolt out by hand. Using a power tool with the extractor has never worked for me, but it might work better with an impact and not a drill
Oreilleys sells a left handed drill bit and extractor set, if you go to autozone you need to purchase the left handed drill bits and the extractors separately.
Try the left handed drill but first, once you get a good size hole in the bolt try the extractor
