What will you be using them for? Will you work with them daily or just odds and ends around the house? I do a lot of work on rental houses/office blogs/retail stuff. I have used about every brand there is. This is what I have.
My 18v set is makita. It is awesome when I need it, but not my everyday carry.
12v dewalt set. Drill, impact, small sawzall, work light. This happens to be my favorite set I have ever had.
Also have a Milwaukee 12v set. Drill, impact, multi tool. Great quality tools.
I have had a Bosch 12v set also. Good tools
Have had a hitachi 12v set drill and impact also. Good also.
My 12v dewalt set was stolen out of my truck earlier this year. I will be puchasing another one hopefully before the end of the year.

I'm on a construction site every day, and see the drywall framers using makita and dewalt impact guns more than any other brand by far. My heavy duty set of 18v tools is makita, light duty Milwaukee 12v. Both manufacturers offer a wide selection of add on tools, but be willing to pay a lot more for the makita brand.

Even though ridgid has a great warranty those suckers seem to be much heavier than other brands, and this makes a difference after a few hours.
