Doesn't matter too much to me. One is Dewalt and the other Ryobi. I like them both but I prefer yellow over green. The Ryobi has a large battery that lasts a very long time. The Dewalt has better ergonomics and is older, the batteries are gone (but that's the benefit of having two drills/four batteries). I've dropped the Dewalt a bunch. The Ryobi is quieter and smoother torque at variable speeds.

I've eyed Festool for their sanders and dust collection, but soo expensive I don't think I could buy them unless I'm getting paid for my work.
