Best, cost be dammned? Festool.
Having said that... the Bosch JS470 is a good compromise between cost, power and features.
Personally, I prefer the "barrel" style, but some folks like the D-handled versions.

I just got this one for Christmas and coming from the cheapest Skilsaw model to this is like night and day. This cuts through wood without slowing down and little strain on the motor. It comes with a non-marring sole plate and a little snap in piece that surrounds the blade that reduces splintering.
I'm very pleased! This is the barrel grip version, they have a top handled one too, but I think the barrel grip gives you more flexibility and fits in tighter places.

Yes! I really like barrel grips, too, because it gets your hand closer to the work so it's easier to control. Also, the ergonomics (at least on this one) are so nice! :) The standard ones you find in the big stores have 'top handles'. I don't like them as much. Thin handle, and if you think about it in terms of lever-arms, your hand rests a whole lot higher than the body, and a little bit behind where you can get your palm on a barrel grip. I find it's easier to make mistakes with top handle ones.
Just my opinion, so still worth researching to see what you like.

Best hand power tool option is a Bosch jigsaw. I could probably make those drawers with one. I prefer the barrel grip model http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004323NQ4?vs=1
