It depends on your specific needs. The STIHL 251c is a solid choice, offering reliability and power. For lighter tasks, you might consider  STIHL MS 180 or MS 211. Husqvarna also offers comparable models like the Husqvarna 435 or 440. Check on them too.

I would always go husky for a small area and coppicing.

Stihl are for grunting..

Being a a non professional user I feel anything over 50cc becomes a bit of a handful after a while of using them. The saw I use for most work is a old and abused Stihl MS180, from everything from hedge trimming up to  18" seasoned Ash/Beech and Oak, and small scale milling of posts etc, waiting for it to blow up but to be honest it just gets stronger. But for looking after a wood I would use my Stihl MS240 with a 15" bar, feels as light and easy as the 180 but in a totally different class when cutting. So my vote would be the Stihl MS241 or the Husky version of it.
