I have run Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, Craftsman, Reds, Poulins, Depending on the size of the job you have to do as long as there running fine then they will do the job. That being said Husqvarna is deffinately the best!!!

Jonsered/Husquvarna/Stihl is my choice...Homelite is from a long ago time...just like the McColloughs', Poulins, (old Jonsereds) and Olympics. They were nice in their hay-day but the top three have proven to be the best commercial saws out there.
