While a GOOD blade can improve a cheap circular saw, it still won't beat a good saw and the same blade.
Your going to have to decide what features you want/need, as there are saws in all the catagories.
Worm Drive, Skil, Bosch, Makita, Big Foot (the Makita and I believe the Bosch are a helical drive, instead of Worm)
Right handers, right blade, Porter Cable 324/no brake or 325/with brake, and both of these have an adjustible dust chute.
No Break Bosch CS10 or CS20, which has a obtainable dust chute.
Makita 5007mga or 5008mga, (led's, electric brake, etc) The Bosch dust chute is supposed to fix these when it comes to dust collection.
The Worx, has gone on sale, incredibly inexpensivally before, and it has a dust chute (if not in box, it is orderable), but no brake. However it has some of the best ergonomic for long rips.
Porter Cables left blade models, 423 (no brake) and 424 (brake) are the left bladed versions of the above Porter Cable.
I believe Dewalts 36x series has a brake.
Milwaukees, I don't know much about in features, just that they are workhorses.
