I am interested in purchasing a plugin, but I'm confused as to which is what I want. I have products that can currently be bought online individually (my website uses wordpress and woocommerce). I would like to make pre-determined groups of those products (like a pack of 8 different socks as a "single" item to buy) as well as have the option for people to make their own set (they choose 8). Would I want the "Product Bundle" or the "Grouped Product" or the "Composite" one?

It depends on the specific settings of your offer: discount (percentage or amount, for all items or each item? etc.), min/max (per item or all items), tax rates (same or different), required and optional items, etc. Our plugin differs in many ways, so I will describe them briefly so that you can consider your choice.
For your information:
- WPC Product Bundles is a plugin for bundling simple, subscription, and variable products. Customers must buy all items included in a bundle to enjoy the promotion/discount. There are 2 pricing methods: fixed price (General tab) or auto-calculated price (the sum of prices of all chosen bundled products). Customers can change the quantity of each item when the Custom quantity option is enabled and can leave any item out of the list if you set the Min quantity limit for each item to 0.
This is the most flexible and common plugin for building offers like yours.
- WPC Grouped Products is a plugin for grouping separate products together. Groupable items must be simple and variable products as well. Customers can choose to add only 1, some certain items, or all from a product group to the cart. All items in a group are still treated as INDIVIDUAL items. Noticeable, Grouped Products doesn't have any discounting method. Users CAN'T control the chosen quantity of grouped items as well. The only way to give a discount to a group is to use the coupons or vouchers.
- We also have another plugin called WPC Composite Products for WooCommerce, which is a kit-building plugin. In a deal, you can set up both optional and required items, with flexible pricing methods: only base price, include/exclude base price. You can rename a component and set a new price in percentage or use an amount.
Users can add multiple products to each component, but only 1 item can be selected from the list for each component.
There are a variety of sources for users to pull various products at once to each components using product tags, categories, attributes (color, size, ...), brands, etc.
