People will come out an tell you to get Dewalt/Milwaukee/Makita/Rigid. You really cant go wrong with any of them. Pick the one you like from these four brands by going in to home depot and testing their hand feel. The 18 volts are awesome for the extra power and I own a Milwaukee set.
I also own the smaller 12 volt lithium Ion tools and they are awesome. I use them more often than the 18 volts (cause of size) generally, but they aren't up to, say, building a deck. If you don't plan on using the drill for more than once or twice a month for simple jobs they are generally a pretty good deal.
The battery-in-handle tools are decidedly light duty. I love my little 12v Makita drill, but I generally use it for taking car interiors apart.
For a do-it-all drill, you want one of the big boys. My Milwaukee M18 has retard strength.
~$215 for a drill/driver combo on Amazon. [A steal, IMO] (http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-2691-22-18-Volt-Compact-Impact/dp/B001F7BIMG/ref=pd_sim_469_6?ie=UTF8&dpID=513Qi0GJzoL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=00ZE200FGN98EM09V5CN)
The equivalent Makita set is more expensive, although it does come with the bigger batteries...I doubt most people actually need 3-4Ah batts, though. I prefer the small ones because it saves a lot of size/weight and the spare is always ready to go before you can drain the one in the tool.
Myself (and 417 other people) can't recommend this set enough.
Yes, it's expensive, but honestly of all the tools I've ever purchased, I use these every time and I'm still amazed by their quality. Even if you think you don't need both an impact driver and a drill, it's amazing to have both.
Also, going to slightly disagree with the post below recommending a table saw. I've found a 10" compound sliding miter saw a much more useful tool for every day around the house stuff than the table saw (which requires a decent bit more space too.
No. Get Milwaukee. Have owned a few and these are the best. http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-2691-22-18-Volt-Compact-Impact/dp/B001F7BIMG
I've used the crap out of mine for two years and batteries still last a long time.
Dewalt set is also good: http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCK265L-18-Volt-Compact-Lithium-Ion/dp/B002WJUEMG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381084507&sr=8-2&keywords=dewalt+drill+kit
Like this set, https://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-2691-22-18-Volt-Compact-Impact/dp/B001F7BIMG/ ?
Will the Kregg drill bit fit?
Even these ones?
I almost agree. Take a step up to the 18v models though.

Same price, and is a hell of a lot more powerful. I am halfway through some major renovations, and aside from wishing I had the bigger batteries sometimes, I am very happy. Drives a 1 1/8" spade bit at high speed through old pine, and will put a 2" holesaw through 1 1/2" of plywood and glue without much of a problem.
