If it took 11 years to wreck the first bar, probably any brand will give good results. I've used the woodland bars but not the Forester although I haven't heard anything bad about the Forester bars from those that have used them. Husqvarna bars have typically been made by Oregon which is sort of the standard in bars with some being better and worse. I think the top performing bars would be Stihl, Sugihara, Tsumara, Total. Those may not be the very best but all of those are good. I have also had good performance out of the Australian made GB brand. The only "bad" bars I have seen seem to be mounted on some of the throw away Poulans, McCullochs and Homelites. Not sure who makes them but they don't wear well at all. Just buy a bar, use a couple years and then report back with your findings.
