My pick
Stihl 044. Light enough for little stuff, powerful enough to handle a 24" bar.

I like my Homelite XL 924 scavenged and modded.
Wait till I goose this Remington!
I have no idea which is best yet, only the venture to look for it.

How the Hell does a poor white boy from Pittsburgh argue about chainsaws with a gentleman from Oregon?
I refuse to ship you the saw to prove it; you win!

McCulloch mini-mac 1, 41" bar, .404 full-house, West-coast dogs.
020T.
I don't like the new caps of the 200T. I don't climb well with an 044. Otherwise it would be 044 or an 026 on the ground. Don't have anything nice to say about Husky. So, I won't say anything.

For my needs, right now, Dolmar 7900

Just doing an informal survey here.
Famous last words....limited to one saw, right...
Give me an 044 or 046...but that means losing my 066...I'm not sure if I could do that. Absolute power corrupts absolutely...ehp may get it one day...

Husky 350, and since there was no stipulation that dictated only one bar, I’ll take an assortment: one each 13”, 16”, 18” and throw in a 20” for good measure. If any log is bigger than a 20 will cut then I don’t need to be sawing on it!
Overall, the 16” would be most useful if restricted to only one.

a late vote:
044 with 32" bar and full skip/full chisel.
I'm thinking about storing it in a safety deposit box.

Hands down, a 24" Eager Beaver "Fisherized", double skip, with a 1/1/2 octane "English"
boost, and the patented "Maglev" bar/chain system, with the liquid nitrogen/lime
chaser, and the Mobil/synthetic "FULL" bar oil deluxe mixture, not that silly kid's crap!
Calculate horsepower the old-fashioned-correct way you hussies! I do not want to
endure any of this engineer/ blather/ tripe! Strapping on my beaver, to my old mule
dyno, makes me feel like a real man, and my mule likes it too.
Pardon me, my wife is back with my prescription!
