I like the paddle switch on my milwalkee, it was a little expensive when I bought it, but i've had it for about 20 years now, still works great!

I have had my Makita for 12 years. I originally bought it to put a drop kit on my 94 Ford Ranger.  ;D

I have 2 of the Harbor Freight grinders. I guess I haven't  used them enough to burn one of them up yet.

i think mine would have lasted longer if i did not use it this weekend me and my dad used it for about 12 hrs straight cutting mortar out of the house to tuck point it we burned up the brushes makita 2 weeks ago doing the same thing but my dad rebuilt it i figure for $20 i will just get a better grinder
