I am a big fan and user of Makita tools. I have many Porter Cable and Milwaukee tools as well.
I just recently made one of the best purchases though.
Milwaukee SUPER HAWG! This thing is the best RA type drill I have ever used. It is quite big, but it is not much more to sling around than a typical RA drill. I know Makita makes a very similar one, but my main supply house is a Milwaukee dealer and I got a good deal.

I also have a very heavy duty and well made Porter Cable standard RA drill. Only problem wiht this one is in low speed it is too slow for smaller holes (+/- 1"). In high speed it has a hard time driving medium sized bits (>1") in harder wood.

I'll bet the Super Hawg will pay for itself in short order since it drills probably twice as fast as a typical RA drill with no bogging down at all.
