Stihl has been reliable for me -- part of it depends on what dealers are available in your area -- I haven't needed the dealer for anything except purchase, chains, filters, etc. I have an 026 Pro 20" and an 009 16"
I do try to run them dry before storage and use Sta-Bil with the gas/oil mix.

It's orange all the way.... Husqvarna... first one i bought was in 1976, a 162. worked it in the woods for several years cutting red and white pines. bought a second 162 ran it for several years and still have this one. upgraded to a 480 for felling and bucking, heavy but LOTS of power, still have this one also. then got a 262 and ran it LOTS, still have this one too. Retired 15 years ago from heavy logging but bought a 354XP for the fire wood pile. We still have an old 922 Homelite for those city people who think that anyone can cut fire wood all day and still walk straight after..LOL . have had a Partner ,Stihl, Pioneer, McCulloch (i think it's still in that beaver pond) and Jonsered (just a husqvarna painted red) still have a few of these in the shop and most still run ....

I'm not a professional chainsaw user, but I live in pulpwood cutting territory. I see many more Stihl saws on the back of trucks than any other brand.
That's why I own 2 of them.
Whatever you buy...be sure to buy a saw big enough to meet your needs or you're going to be working twice as hard.

We had a Stihl but it died last fall, something about the place where you crank it to get it going is messed up and we can get it fixed but were told it was probably cheaper to buy a new one than fix the old one.
