Timely! I was gifted into House Milwaukee this holiday season. I guess the sorting hat did it's thing. Hope to learn a lot of useful wizardry, I've got a door frame to fix.

My brother and I used Ego for lawn work. I'm not sure if these brands have lawn/garden stuff (I think I remember Ryobi does), but it's the same concept. I love battery powered tools, but I hate how the brands tie you in.

Ryobi is great for starting out. They're definitely not the best tools, but they're cheap. If you wear out something from them, you've earned the right to buy a good brand of that tool.
I've gone through a skoolie (school bus converted to an RV) project and now most of a house renovation with one 1/4" Ryobi drill and one 3/8" Harbor Freight drill and they're both somehow still going strong after five years of hard usage. I had bad opinions of both manufacturers before but not any more.

For those who hate being stuck with one brand because the batteries are so expensive you can buy adapters to convert between them. For instance I use a rigid battery with a ryobi tool etc and it works great! I've seen adapters for working between most of the brands since almost all the tools are 18V. I've seen ones that jump between lower voltages and higher ones which is a bit sketchier but are likely fine as well. https://www.google.com/search?q=power+tool+battery+adapter

I got three of the four, just one more power tool set and I'll be sweet lol
I honestly am not sure I've ever heard of the bottom two, I'm a second generation DeWalter (though my dad also used Ryobi).
Milwaukee is generally considered the best brand for heavy professional work in the US. DeWalt is a close second
