You mean work well to drill with or work well to break them ;-)?

I have not had any luck with jacobs chucks and carbide drills, although i  
have not tried dremel specifically.
Jacobs chucks tend to have more "random" runout, especially cheap ones.  
There seem to be good quality too since some commercial PCB drilling  
machines use a jacobs, but i expect them to be more pricey than the 5eur  
variety i get at my tool store.
