Which is better, Makita or DeWalt?

Looking to buy from one of these companies and i was originally going towards RIDGID, but have heard mixed about them. I havent heard anything bad about makita or dewalt, so i was wondering which is better for a cordless 18v lithium ion company. Would buy drill/driver, impact driver, light, sawzall. Also on makita which would be better to get in the long run LXT or compact drills/kit. NEED AS MUCH HELP AS POSSIBLE. plz and thx
