I was in this same dilemma this past Christmas when looking to purchase a new set for home use. I wanted a drill and impact driver set. At first I was set on the dewalt 20v max line. After some more research I looked into the makita's. saw some videos of those getting burnt up quite fast under load, so I scratched that idea. Next I started looking at the Milwaukee M-18 brushless set. This set was by far the newest and best out. But for the very seldom use that I would give it around the house, I couldn't justify the 400$ price tag for the two tool set. I ended up looking into Bosch after that. I found a set on Home Depots site with exactly what I wanted. Compact 18v hammer/drill driver and 18v impact driver with charger and the case. They both had led lights and battery life gauges on the battery packs. It came with one fat pack 3A battery and one slim pack 1.5A battery. After having the kit now for a few months I am very very pleased with the quality and performance of this kit. My next purchase will be the Bosch powerbox job site radio; that thing is badass. The model # for the kit I bought if you want to look into it is: CLPK-243. At the time Bosch was offering a 50$ mail in rebate so I got the kit for 199$ which is a steal IMO. Good luck, I think you'll be fine with whatever brand you choose.
