First off Dan, congrats, happy Birthday!
I think those chisels will server you well, they look like a decent set, and with some TLC will give you many years of use.
About the water stones, they certainly do need flattening after each use, or even during use if you are sharpening a few chisels at once.
I use a special made stone that is hard, to flatten my water stones, but, for a long time I just used the flat side of a cinder block, it is plenty flat for this use, it just needs to be hosed off now and then.
Cheers!
