General Purpose or Combination
Those could be adequate, but they're designed for someone who is ripping and crosscutting. Since a miter saw is virtually all crosscuts, a crosscutter would be my choice.

Agree, was just mentioning a blade from the list. I'd take a nice combo blade over a cheap crosscut blade any day of the week

Ah, I see. Yes, from the blades in the OP, combo blade it is.

The OP SD208s is a lighter and cheaper dado set made in China and as Freud says [freudtools.com], "Ideal for underpowered saws," that they list on the package that includes Bosch, DeWalt, SawStop and others.
Interesting. Printed on the side of the blade of the SD208S it says "Made in Italy".

Ok... If you don't want to break the bank, this $25 Twin-Town [amazon.com]does a good job for an all around blade, including plywood. You can spend a $80 or more for a Freud [amazon.com], or a two blade pack of Diablo [amazon.com] for $95, but I don't think it is worth the cost of the red (or yellow or blue) teflon coating that I often have to sand off the wood. And then there is the Bosch [amazon.com] that has $20 off a $100

But... in my opinion, the best deal at this moment for a name brand quality blade is this 80 tooth Makita [amazon.com] for $33.45. With a 5% positive rake, it is good for ripping or crosscutting of plywood and hardwoods. If you are having trouble with crosscutting, like with a radial or a miter saw, try cutting on the push cycle instead of pulling. I don't think you will with a new blade, but the more positive the tooth rake, the more it wants to 'climb' when pulling and the blade is on the top. On a table saw, there should be no issue with the blade on the bottom for ripping or crosscutting.
I would not personally recommend an 80 tooth blade with no gullets for ripping.

But don't just take my word on it:

Perhaps the packaging is made in Italy..
Nope, got it delivered about a hour ago, and it says "Made In Italy" right on the blades themselves .

Good deal on the dado set that I couldn't pass up. According to CCC this is the best price ever by over $10 (in 2018) and about $35 cheaper than usual.

Time for some dado cuts!

Quote from elnino2783 :
What should I aim for in a 10" mitre saw blade?

Ideally I'd want the cleanest cut for fine work, but in reality I mostly just cut 2x4's, at least right now
The Freud red blades are the cheaper, big box blades. The silver ones are better. I have been using the below for general purpose for over 3 years. I built an entire bedroom set with it.
