Ridgid, hands down. Most companies I work with use Milwaukee. I've never been a fan.
Personally, I find Ridgid to have a better feel. They have a lifetime warranty on both the tool AND the battery, as long as you register them within 90 days.
Ridgis is lacking in a lot of the trade specific specialty tools that Milwaukee offers, but unless you need those tools, it's not a huge deal.
I use my Ridgid cordless drill for an ice auger as well. Slap the handle on it and go. The biggest battery I have is a 4 amp. I got 8 holes in 36" ice a couple of years ago.
If you watch for the sales, the have free battery and tool offers. Buy a certain line of tool, get a free battery and charger, or another tool.
