I've got a Husky right now, have owned Stihl's as well. Both very good saw's IMO. Probably the Stihl is more Popular for sure.

I got an old echo- supposed to have a 12 bar but I found a 16 that fits. Runs like a champ.

I have the Stihl 310 also, very happy with it. I think my girlfriend would be happy with it too if i would finish cutting the wood.

look at a Stihl MS 360....I have the predecessor, the 036P that is a real workhorse...I have the 20" on it and have a 32 to go with a skip tooth for larger stuff...If its REALLY big I can use an 066 with a 48 bar.

I have an old 036 av super with a 24" bar and a 048 with a 36" bar and love both. It's tough to beat a Stihl!

Stihl's my choice hands down. I cut/burn around 6 cord a year. Most of the time I use a 036 Pro with a 20" bar. This saw is well balanced and never quits. For the bigger stuff I have a MS460 with a 30" bar.
Note on the MS460: Every minute you have to take a step either left or right to avoid burying yourself in sawdust
