I prefer Husky saws over Stihls (not by much) but I've got a dozen years on a Stihl FS 110 weed wacker with no complaints. I did have to replace the head but that was more because of neglect than anything. Stored it ouside sea side and it got corroded and messed up. I keep it indoors any more. The part was cheap.

Don't know if it's the "best", but I sure do like my ECHO.

Redmax.
Stihl that dont use the 4mix engine.
Shindaiwa.
Echo.
All of these are good as long as you go with the straight shaft pro models.

Before buying one, make the salesperson refill the spool in front of you.

Straight shaft ECHO. You can put a skill saw blade on it and whack mesquite brush. Works great. The three bladed cutters work really well for <1" stuff. You need to wear good face protection.

Another vote for goats. Then make tamales out of them at the end of the season. Repeat yearly!
