I have the Bosh which I like, but it now resides in the router table and I use my Milwaukee for everthing else. I really like the body grip as I can confidently manuver it with one hand when needed. (Like when your cord gets hooked on something during a long cut).

I agree with every point here. I have used this Bosch router or one very similar, and recommend it highly.
I own this Milwaukee router and it's been a real work horse, although it did need repair once.
Porter cable is also excellent. I don't know if I'd get Ryobi, and I definitely wouldn't get Craftsman.
The plunge base is nice, but I very rarely use mine. You could skip it and save a few bucks and probably never miss it.
