044 hands down. I love my ported 046, it is a beast, but U don't want to limb with it. An 044 will do it all, good at bucking and still light enough to limb with.

I think they are one of the best power to wt (& bulk) saws out there.

My 2 saw plan would be the 362 & 046, but my one saw plan would be an 044.
 
Don't see any Husqy 576 XP-AT-XT there. Just barely started to get to know mine, but fersher I'm gonna love it. Smooth as silk, even slightly smoother than my Dolly 6100. Super-docile for mid-winter starting. Serious power output. Any cures for the silver paint?

Eagerly awaiting coming of springtime.
 
044 10mm cuz its the only one on the list I gots, next would be a 288 them I got and I did like my 7900 too but sold it so.... 044 10mm
 
MS441. Not on your list...

More power than a 372 or a 440, a lot smoother than a 440 or 460. Cold blooded after starting and bulky though.

Also the 576xp is not on your list. The original replacement for the 372xp, best Husky saw I every owned or ran (even the 372xpw). Sold it with my other Husky saws with my Bandit chipper several years ago.

You are also missing the 372xpw pre-smog saw with the bigger engine. Best of that series of saws IMO. But I am a Stihl guy.
 
I've ran a 046 and it just wasn't for me. I dunno. Ran a 7900 for awhile too and I liked it. Haven't got my hands on one of my own yet though.

The 372 stands out in my mind for some reason though, it really impressed me.
 
it's on there now. I was out working on the kids playhouse and realized I had left a few choices off.
run this poll for a few days then take the top 3-5 saws from it and have a runoff. too many choices right now to only pick one.

7900 is my choice. but i am becoming one of those brand biased fools.
second choice would be a 461 though
