They keys you need are variable speed (you'll want to slow it down for metal) and being able to change the orbital action... Orbital action is how much the blade moves fore/aft as it goes up and down. Eliminate it for metal and detail cuts. Crank it up for speed in softer materials.
Note that Bosch jig saws use there own type of blades...
