Stihl 088 42" bar - it could probably take a 60 if I wanted to cut slabs but I can't be arsed cutting slabs right now
Husky 365 25" bar - great saw, good balance - was looking for a 372 but this came up and I think it is bloody good - would thoroughly recommend
DeWalt 16" electric - I already had a bunch of DeWalt tools so this was easier to support than the upfront costs might have been otherwise (500 saw,200charger200plus batteries)
Electric saws may well put me in the same place as light beer drinkers in many people's eyes* but there are some positive points-
1 handed use
always "on" ie no starting
quiet if you need quiet so indoor use no disruption, cut on a place with jittery animals like horses no worries

The Husky is the main saw and the electric is just for walking the log and cutting the little side branches but I can see electric saws getting better


Oh yeah and a vintage flamethrower
