I have battery and gas. ego and echo. The only benefit of battery is I can use the blower indoors or in my inside patio no fumes. I grab the gas weed eater every time instead of the Ego. Buy a can of trufuel or whatever and it's foolproof.

ego and echo.
I replaced a 20+ year old Echo weed eater with an Ego. I love the power, ease of use, and reliability of the Ego. But, the head is at a flatter angle and spins the opposite direction of the Echo, and it took me almost a full season to get used to that.
The Echo is easier to handle if you intend to turn it upside down and use it as an edger. The Ego is really good for trimming wider areas and up against vertical surfaces.
I'm probably going to replace my walk-behind blade edger with an Ego stick edger this year. My old edger turns 30 this year. It's a work horse once it gets going, but is just getting unbearable to start.
In terms of overall ease of use for a house in a subdivision, I highly recommend Ego.
