I went down the Poulan path. I made the jump to Stihl 12 years ago and have not looked back. I have the MS 193 and the MS 291. I absolutely love them both. I probably use the 193 the most because it seems small jobs come up more frequently. For reference, I cut between 1 and 6 cords per year (depends on how cold it is for how much hardwood I go through and how many pine trees get killed by beetles that I need to get rid of).
There really is something to be said for having a saw that you KNOW will start when you need it.
I'm sure there are comparable brands. I just haven't used them.

I personally think Stihl is the way to go. You can rebuild them with about 4 tools if you know what you are doing.

This one...
STIHL MS 291 C-BEQ
I've been spoiled to the Quick Chain Adjuster and wouldn't want to be without it.

Im taking my ms 250 in here for its first service after like 4 years of running it. sharpened the chain myself all that time and I think its time to buy another. aside from one issue of not starting, which was because the air filter hadn't been changed in 3 years, it had been a great saw. 18" bar is enough for me. hauling up and down the mountain side gets tiring.
