I've had great experiences with Bosch,Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Hitachi.
I only recently went cordless because I am a homeowner with regular access to electricity-- not like contractors who often work on sites with no power.
i went with Makita 18v li-ion because the impact driver was the only model on the market with a brushless motor. Also, the ergonomics were excellent. If I were buying a kit of cordless tools instead of just one or two, I'd go with DeWalt or Bosch. Milwaukee are all Chinese made now-- or at least assembled there and the quality seems less than when I bought the Super Sawzall I really like.
