Whatever saw you get, TS or BS, be safe and use GOOD quality blades..
Especially on the BS.. I've seen folks that HATE their BS until someone puts a
real blade on it.. YMWV

I'd add that the saw should either have a riser kit available or be one of
the steel frame ones that already has a 12" resaw capability (13" for the
Rikon). 12" logs have a lot more interesting wood in them than 6" logs :-).
