I have a 20 year old Black and Decker that probably has a couple of thousand hours on it that is still serving well. I am considering retiring it in favour of a rechargeable one though. Not sure it matters what brand it is as long as you get certain features.
Make sure it is a random orbital. Some are really just low speed grinders and only go in circles.
Check the availability and cost of pads. There is nothing worse than getting a tool that you can only buy the needed accessories at one place (and usually at a premium).
Variable speeds are very nice.
Watch carefully for what brand they are. Often an off brand name is the exact same tool as the branded one at half the price.
