I prefer solder wick for both, though thru-hole is a little trickier. A
little additional flux works wonders. As far as solder-suckers go, unless
it's vacuum driven, I have no use for it.

decent iron to heat things up. Much better than the RS unit.

yeah, the blue OK Industries is sort of the standard for solder suckers. There are
black ones that are ESD safe and conductive or something like that.

I probably got my last one from digikey or allied.
