In my years of collecting saws, I have found many good saws and many curplits. Not to be bragging, I have sold, traded and bought over one hundered saws, many of them Stihl, Husqvarna, Dolmar and Jonsered. Most of these saw got tested in the woods of various cutting jobs. My judgment on a perfect 3 saw plan in based on cutting mostily soft wood (Doug fir, pine, hemlock, cottonwood, and larch. The plan will include both Stihl and Husqvarna. Remember, this plan is not only for loggers, it's also for weekend wood cutters. The wood up here in the pacific north west is commonly 24". I cut firewood all the time that is up to 40" at DBH (diameter at brest hight).
To get started with the all around small saw:
Husqvarna 346xp NE with a 18 to 20 inch bar OR
Stihl ms260 with 18 to 20 inch bar
Either saws running .325 chain.
The mid size saw will be:
Stihl ms 440 or 441 with a 28 inch bar OR
Husqvarna 372xp or 576xp with a 28 inch bar
This size range works good with 3/8" full or skip chain
The large saw:
Husqvarna 288xp or 390 with a 32 inch bar OR
Stihl 064 or Ms660 with a 32 inch bar
I am not meaning to offend anyone if I left your saw size out of the plan. After running saws for many years, This combo that I have found reciently works very well.
