I currently have a tsurmura 18" on one of my 550's. A 16" Oregon Pro Lite on the other.

16'' sugi on mine.

I run a 16" powermatch on mine. When I am in small maple that saw does it all, and that bar holds up.

Anyone had problems with these Sugi Hara bars? I would like to buy an 18 inch for my "Husqvarna" 2258 too...

I would be curious about this too, I read about oiling and fit and finish issues. I would try one on my 346 but I feel like it might be a gamble...

Same Guage and pitch as the original ?

Sugihara. I run them on most of my saws , lightweight pro version. . They are up there with Cannon for durability and much lighter and tough , for me the best bar out there .
Only my humble opinion though .
On my 550 I run 15" and 18"
