I am a proud new england redneck, and have a very strong opinion about this. for infrequent use, a stihl will be fine, but over the long run... It also depends on how large/ tough the stuff you're cutting is. For big stuff, and a saw that will last forever, its husky all the way. [husqvarna]
Having said that, I have a new favorite limbing/ small tree saw; an echo. tiny light little sucker, but great for sub 4" diameter.

also, get a good chain file, and get good at sharpening. maintain correctly, bar oil, etc...
and most importantly of all. BE SAFE
take a course if you're not completely familiar with felling/ safety techniques, whatever you need to do to keep yourself alive!
