With both those brands, buy brushless. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve had to change brushes on both brands of drill. At least Makita makes it easy to change them and you don’t have to split the whole drill to do it.
On the other hand, I’ve never changed brushes on my 25 year old Ryobi, and it’s put in a hundred times as many screws as the other two put together.
I dunno, Makita and some Milwaukee tools are absolutely worth the money, especially if you’re willing to buy into their battery ecosystem.
