Bohings are good but Bitzenburger are the best.  JoJans are a fine jig too and I use them myself, but for accuracy, ajustability, and life Bitenburgers are the best.  Plastic jigs (if you are using them) will not last as long.

I'll sell you a used Bitzenberger at a good price. Let me know RW Helical or LW Helical.

You could consider holding off on a fletching jig. The following link shows a cheap process that ends up looking great.  http://www.primitiveways.com/fletching_jig.html
