Scott, you are treading on 'religious ground' with this question. 8>)
Here is my take...
Dewalt has the most tools and is really solid. (Except their chainsaw!)
Milwaukee is pretty much top of the heap, but expensive and don't have as
many different tools.
All other brands are less costly and have a great selection, but seem to
be more 'consumer' than 'professional.'
My way is to go Dewalt for most things and do Milwaukee for the stuff they
are WAY better at. (chainsaws, pole trimmers, etc.)
Also note, the land of the rising sun is now making tons of tools that are
compatible with Dewalt and Milwaukee's batteries. These tools are super
cheap (both in quality and price) but really extend the offerings of both
brands. Tons of options for lights, inverters, etc.
Amen.

Followed all the suggestions, still not budging the lug nuts. It's running
off a regular yellow coiled air line, straight from the compressor tank.
Everyone is so bullish on the battery impacts maybe I need one.
So...which one? I didn't have any other battery tools (lost in the same
fire that got my air tools), so I don't have an existing battery ecosystem
I want to use.
Twenty years ago I had a Milwaukee 18v impact that was no more impressive
than the 2131 and I didn't use it except at the track. I assume they've
improved since then.
Are they all about the same or is one clearly better than the others?
Thanks fellas.
