Looking for a new miter saw

I have an old hand me down 10" Craftsman, I have been using it for years around the house.
I am building a new mantel for the fireplace and need to miter some wider boards than my saw can handle. I always use projects to aquire a new tool so help me pick out a new saw.
I know I want a 12" saw, I haven't made up my mind on sIngle or dual bevel or a sliding saw. I want a good saw for home projects. Any first hand experiences would be great. Not hung up on any brand but I do like good quality tools.
Thanks

12 sliding is the answer.. If you don't make a living with your tools pretty much any brand will get the job done.

My FIL just bought Mr a Wen 10`` sliding saw. Its been great so far. Cuts 12 in boards has come in handy. Its nice if you don't want to spend a fortune.

I have a bosch sliding mitre saw, and it has been great, but I was doing some research just now and and dang these things have gotten pricey. But what you will need to get the most out of your saw is a nice table if you dont need it to be moble you can build a nice table with adjustable stops and fence that will make doing crown molding and other projects much easier than using a saw horse. something like this is easy click here
