I'm about to order a bunch of capacitors to keep on hand. What are some commonly used values I should stock up on? I know 0.1uF are good to have for decoupling, but what about others?

Just buy one of those packs of assorted capacitors that are generally available (they usually have 10 of every value), and replenish the individual values that you find yourself using the most.
