any opinion on 12v vs 18v? im seeing good reviews for both.

For most standard DIY the 12 volt is fine. Bigger projects or those where longer battery life is a benefit the 18 rules. If your batteries are a few years old you may as well upgrade to the 18 now. Frequently see sets on sale for cheaper than the individual tools around here.
