I think you will be fine with either. I have a Hatachi 18v Li-ion that I have had for almost 10 years. My dad got it for me when I was helping him build his house. Not having to haul cords around when you are 30' up on scaffolding was incredibly useful. As of now, one battery is completely shot and the other can only hold a so-so charge, good enough for small projects. If it were my decision I would simply base which drill I bought on which one had the cheaper after market non-OEM replacement batteries (eBay has my battery listed for $22.75, so I will be getting one or two when I start my fence).
