Circular Saw - Brands?

Looking at buying a new circular saw. I think I am between a Mikita and a Milwalkee Tilt-Lok 7 /14 inch saw.

Which one do you guys that use them every day reccommend? The Mikita is heavier 11.1 pounds versus the Milwalkee at 10.6 pounds. Which one will hold up better.

Feel free to suggest other brands as well. I don't use every day, but like to buy the best, that last a long time for commerical users - then I KNOW it will last me a lifetime.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.
