+1 on the Channel Lock 927 snap ring pliers.
I had a cheap set of snap ring pliers trying to remove a clip for a Toyota Sienna wheel bearing. Took forever with the crappy set.
Channel locks got it off on the first try.

I have never found good ones, meaning with adjustable tips.
Now I have a bunch of needle nose pliers that I have just ground the tips down to fit various applications. It's surprisingly cheap to do this; pick up cheap needle nose sets on sale. Presumably, you have a bench grinder. If not, you need one anyway, go get it.

Bought a Craftsman one about a year ago at Sears. Good quality and still made in USA.
I also have the Channellock 927 and they're pretty good.

Same here. I thought Lisle would have been a good one but no I am not impressed.

These may work for occasional use.

I tried them and quickly replaced them with the Channel Lock 927 Snap Ring pliers I mentioned earlier.

I've had no problems with a 3 piece set of Craftsman I bought maybe 8-10 years ago, but they seem to no longer sell a 3 piece set and what they have now has black grips while mine were red so no idea if the manufacturer/quality is the same now.

I bought the Icon set from harbor freight. They are actually very good and worth the price because they come with many different ones in a suitcase style storage box. The snapring plyers that have interchangeable tips are garbage
+1 on the Channellock. I can't comment on any other brand but am happy with my 927.
I would go with the Knipex 00 20 04 SB, 00 20 04 V01, or 00 19 58 V02 set. Not cheap, but you'll be happy with them if you use them often. Since you mention using the 90 degree tips, these sets include those.
The 00 20 04 V01 set is available on the amazon.de for a very good price right now (90 euros which includes VAT). The other two sets I linked are their "precision" line (per Knipex).
The stamped set of 12 is typically made by Lang or Stride for others, and they are generally pretty good. The price is hard to beat for USA made tools.

One of the tip holes was broached at the wrong angle so if I use 90*tips, which is quite often, they don't work.
