After going through others Milwaukee is my hands down favorite. I paid $320 for the 4-piece 18V kit. Driver, circular, recip, light, two batteries, carry bag. They usually offer it with a promo free battery or radio or .... You can find lower count kits but the driver is the most expensive. Consider ebay for items you won't use.
If the drill is your main thing try chucking a garbage bit or rod between competing drills to see which wins. It usually isn't tough to get salespeople interested in this test.
B&D, Ryobi, and several Craftman models come off the same assembly lines. Shop on price & extras because durability will be roughly the same. They all use nylon drive components. I believe DeWalt still uses nylon in their drivers as well, which was the death of my last commercial unit.
