Can only second that Dewalt would be a good choice if you go with a 'circular' over the Skill. Think price could be a big factor in deciding which 'circular' is best to buy as the prices seem all over the map. Can only reccomend you stay away from Black and Decker, as my experience with this brand shows they are way too wimpy (but most times they are pretty cheap and at least they work for a little while). By the way just to make it clear a Skill 'worm-drive' is also a "circular" saw (7 /4" blade) it is just a different configuration (handle/blade line-up is different) and worm-drive.

I just went through this exercise this summer for rebuilding my back porch. I
: picked the Dewalt DW364. I read all the reviews I could find and picked-up
: and handled a lot of saws. I've been very happy with it so far.
