I went with Ryobi under the rubric of “if you use it enough to break it then buy a good one”. I have a wall of green tools because most of them are used only occasionally. My hammer drill is the one that is gonna go. And yeah. I will buy something f’in awesome. Because using an underpowered hammer drill sucked.
After three and a half years of semi professional use, my ryobi impact driver has a lot of play in the shaft making it rather difficult to use and it can no longer do heavy jobs. But for the price, 3.5 years was worth it.
I’m a cheapskate, I usually end up with ryobi.
Edit: check out Project Farm on YouTube. This guy does independent and fairly comprehensive reviews of various household products.

Plus I like obnoxious green as a color.
