Makita and DeWalt are more or less equivalent, but I’m using DeWalt 20V (and corded miter saw) for few (subjective) reasons:
* Looks like DeWalt bundles are priced better.
* Looks like DeWalt has better variety of tools in 20V.
* DeWalt is sold at both Home Depot and Lowes, so you run into more sales and has better chance of picking up required tool (and, importantly, accessories) on the short notice.
* Amazon has good DeWalt sales for the Prime Day, etc.
In particular for corded miter saw DeWalt 779 is just a great deal. I upgraded it with the light kit and got DeWalt portable stand.
Since these tools really last, there is no need to get cheaper versions if you can afford it.
For really rare-use tools or accessories I get cheap Porter Cable (ironically owned by same holding as DeWalt) or chinese knock-offs from Harbor Freight.
