My experience has been with the Stihl and the Partner. Both 12" and 14" of either. 9 out of 10 Stihls that I've rented have had issues, usually with starting. The Partners have started better, run smoother, and seem to me to be better balanced.
I'll be buying a saw for next season as I now rent enough to justify purchasing. I'll be looking at either the Partner, or a Shindaiwa. The Shin is more heavier and more expensive, but all of my hand-held maintenance equipment is Shindaiwa and the quality is among the best available.
I would agree with the others regarding size...go with 14".
