Well, you have enough advice now to totally confuse you. Just remember the rule of thumb that you get what you pay for, and buy according to need for quality vs.expense.
If this is for fencing try this. A couple years ago while helping a friend fence approx 10 acres an old timer told us to pack the hole with dirt about 1/2 full and then fill the rest with dry concrete mix (no water). We tried it and it works. The moisture from the ground( even in drought conditions) is drawn to the concrete mix and in about 48hrs. the post were rock solid tight and still are today. No need for expensive concrete mix just the cheapest stuff on the shelf works fine. And not having to mix it with water saves a lot of time. I dont remember the size of the auger but it wasn't much bigger than the post, the concrete does the trick.
