Default Circular saw and blade recommendations

I bought a Porter Cable left hand.......it just made so much sense. The ease
of use of the foot, the balance, and I don't have to strain my old back
looking over and through to follow my cut line
Then I found a 6.5 Rigid in a left model, smaller, powerful. I won't go back
to right ever...........

Have been looking(online at Lowe's) at circular saws. Want to have a good
one with a finishing blade for cutting ply, and hardwood, rip and

crosscut.
Going to be using it for miter cuts and ripping pieces of wood that would

be
awkward at best on my smallish table saw. Work space also limits adding
support tables to TS. I have seen, online the DeWalt, Milwaukee, and PC.

The
PC looks interesting with the dust port that I can rig to my portable DC.

I
would like an easy to adjust shoe, which looks like the DW and the PC.
Sooo, any thoughts on this. I have an old Skilsaw that was my dad's, but
think I'll keep it for use on MDF and rough cutting. Thanks.
