What average premium is everyone paying for these? I'd like to collect this set but don't want to over pay.

it depends on the number of pucks you buy and how you pay for them. Figure around $4-5/ounce which I consider high...and then add shipping to that.

It seems the lower the spot price is the higher the premium goes. Shop around and go with the best INCLUSIVE price. Provident has direct checking account payment so you can save the time it takes for the check to get there and be processed.

Edit: I assume you are talking about bullion ATB's

It really all depends on what kind you want to collect. There are two versions, the bullion version, which is just bullion and priced as such. They are minted in bulk and you buy it from a coin shop/auction/authorized purchaser. Then there is the collector version. Minted more carefully, one at a time. They are encapsulated and boxed with a COA and are bought from the mint for a "collector's premium", or on the secondary market. And of course there are the graded ones which command the highest premium.

The pricing is going to depend on which ones you choose to collect, the year of issue and the overall mintage. The first year 2010 and 2012 are low mintage years and can be expensive. The cheapest way to go is the bullion issues, except for very low mintage years, they will be closest to spot.

First of all I recommend subscribing to the collectors version from the US Mint. Currently you'll save 10% off new P-version 5oz ATB's as they are released.

The collector's version generally has a lower mintage than its bullion sibling. Currently, the priciest 5oz ATB is the 2012P Hawaii Volcano Park coin, the bullion version also carries a hefty premium too.

The Mint started to produce the 5oz coins in 2010. Which series do you plan on collecting?

I agree. A decision has to be made which of the two types you want to collect and why.

The bullion puck is bullion and mintage numbers should be irrelevant. Premiums, as mentioned, are $4-5/ounce and price moves with spot. Nice looking specimens.

P pucks, aka "Collector's version" come nicely packaged and have a different almost satin finish than their brothers. They are great to collect and value IS dependent on mintage numbers. Raw or graded could be another choice with these.
Bought direct from the Mint premiums are around $8/ounce with the subscription discount (depends on spot price for premium amount..doesn't really move directly with spot but can be adjusted.

I think both are cool but the reasons for buying each are different.

For one or a few Try going to the small coin shows or coin dealers in your area first. Get rid of that shipping handling cost. Make them a fair offer.
