I have (or have had) some of all of the brands mentioned. IMHO, the least expensive power tool is the one that you don't have to fix or replace after very little use. For ocassional use, go with a mid-range tool, for regular use, buy the best you can afford. Another thing to look at, is how safe is the tool. If at all possible, try to handle and hold any tool before you buy it. If it doesn't fit you hand well, it just may get away from you, and power tools can really really bite hard.
Good luck in your search, and be safe.
