Hi, I work for a company who sell chainsaws, parts etc etc (family owned not large chain). Although not the area which I specialize!
As everyone has said, if it's going to get alot of use/abuse you really need a brand that can be backed up, especially if you are going to use it alot... if you are going to use it once a year, a cheaper one may well last and/or be cheaper to throw away every few years and buy a new one.
Top of my list would be stihl, husqvarna, if you wanted electric Bosch aftercare/service/parts is ok.
Cheaper petrol - mcculloch, echo, tanaka can all be ok after care. I've had bad experiences with Ryobi (but thats just me)
As a general guide, if its an own brand from a diy shed and it breaks within the 1st year, they will usually swap it/help in someway..if its after 1 year you may struggle which is where spending a little more comes in handy, the dealer networks for stihl/husqvarna should always be helpful. ( i know I am!
