Based on this thread, researching a little last night, found the Skil saw worm, the Skil sidewinder and now Li ion saws, HD has some nice Dewalts which I swear by in corded angle grinders and reciprocating saws.

Don't want to spend $200 for a saw that I'll use 2-3 times a year so want to keep it at $150 max and $100 is better. I normally buy the best tools possible but for some reason I'm hesitant to go all out on a circular saw, no idea why.

All that said, recommendations?
Nothing wrong with the $100 makita saw at home depot. I have one 10+ years old, works fine. But having said that, I like the 18v Ryobi stuff. To cut a 4x4 with that, you are going to go around it with the circular saw, then finish it off with the sawzall.
