I went with Ryobi as my sister bought me the drill/impact set for my birthday probably 7 years ago. Since then I have purchased the palm sander, angle grinder, large impact, reciprocating saw, circular saw, and will be purchasing the chain saw for camping this week. My dad had a couple of the old drills from Ryobi back when they were blue and he swore by them. I have renovated 3 properties, worked on cars, and beat the hell out of them and not once have they failed. I'm still on my original two batteries that came with the the drill/impact combo.
Still works great:
