Given the choice I would go Stihl having worked for over 25years in the plant hire business where we ran a lot of Stihl machines, Great to work on and easy to start. Also like many have said go for the longer bar sharpen little and often. If the logs/tree has been laying on the ground a good stiff brush helps get rid of some of the dirt. Also buy good safety clothing suitable for use with the chainsaw. Also find a place that runs training even if it is only a day one.
