I can't really give advice, but I can clarify some things.
The socket quest can be used on any item that can have sockets but doesn't have them already. You can use it on rares, uniques, crafted items, and set items and get exactly 1 socket. Or you can use it on magic items, for 1-2 sockets randomly (assuming the item can have more than 1). Finally, you can use it on non-magical items to get the maximum that item can have at its ilvl.
You can find this maximum with the calculator in my signature. It'll show three numbers for the max sockets: ilvl 1-25, ilvl 26-40, and ilvl 41+. This maximum is absolute; there's no way at all to get more. There's also no way at all to add more sockets to an item that already has some.
