2 years ago I looked at both Stihl and Husqvarna at MB tractor. I think that either would be good. These are higher compression engines than saws of old so the Husqvarna had the advantage of compression release starting on many models. However the close by (for me) Gilford Home center (old Agway building) sells and services Stihl so that is the way I went.

I got a MS 250 with 16" bar and that will take care of anything that I would ever attempt on my own.

My brother has a MS 270 Farm Boss that he really likes.
