Another thing to look at is what brand hire companies have. The majority of tool hire companies in Australia have Makita( trade/professional line) and Bosch Blue( again the trade/professional) for both their corded and cordless hire tools.

We use Milwaukee M12( good for smaller hands and travelling with) and M18 with both Brushed and Brushless.

If the tools aren't going to be used a huge amount it could be worth looking at some of the other Tektronix "brands" such as Ryobi and AEG. In the 12V tools anyway AEG brushed is very similar to Milwaukee brushed while being significantly cheaper and more compact.
The batteries of AEG, Ryobi and Milwaukee all contain the same type of 18650 cells.
