My advice is don't stress on knowing lots of chords. I wasted too much time on this before I realized that it's the right hand that makes it sound good! Spend (at least) as much time on right hand technique as learning chords.
As others said, learn 'em as you need 'em. If you learn triads up the neck (Mark Hanson has great book on this!) you can get a lot of variety with the different voicings of same old chords.
