Go ahead and buy a saw from your list. They are excellent values. Stihl and Husky sell huge numbers of them and they are very reliable.
I have gotten alot of good advice here and I value these guys opinions.
That being said.....
These guys are either pros or saw nuts or both. Thats not a bad thing. However, they tend to be saw SNOBS. I never knew that my 029 super had a plastic crankcase until I got hooked on this site. I cut alot of wood just the same. The biggest knock on my 029 seems to be the weight. 13 lbs. But I don't walk around with the saw. Its in the log most of the time. When I get to the point when 13 pounds is too much for me to carry, I will officially know it is time to stop cutting wood. I will have officially reached the point where I am too frail to cut wood.
Feel free to buy any of those saws, and enjoy many years of good sawing
+1 People get a little carried away with their recommendations. Surprised I haven't read a 441 or 7900 mentioned yet.
Any of those saws are good FIREWOOD saws, as that's what you asked about, and will serve you well. My advise is go with a quality dealer that will let you test drive the saw(s) you're interested in and go with what fits you best.
