Have only tried the Makita and absolutely love it. I already warned my wife that the impact is the one tool that I would have to immediately replace if I ever kill it.

the new Milwaukee stuff is about to come out.. the new m18 Fuel hammer drill, will once again have the highest rated torque on the market.. as of now its the Makita, but either would be a great choice. you should take a hard look at what tools you think you might want in the future and let that help you decide.

How's the battery life on the Makita? Every time I get interested in the Makita system I hear the horror stories about their batteries failing to hold charges quickly.

The Makita LXT 18V battery packs are sold in 3, 4, and 5 Ah versions. The tools usually come with 3 Ah. The only thing I find that kills them quickly is heavy cutting with the battery powered sawzall. For my drill, impact driver, and jigsaw, there is plenty of capacity to do whatever you need.
Love the BL impact driver. It'll do lugnuts without a problem.

The oscillating tool eats batteries in my experience.
I just picked up there newest BL 4.5" grinder and the xdt09z impact driver... They are nuts! They blow away the older versions. The impact is FAST and its TINY! The smaller size really is noticeable while working with it.
The grinder is amazing too, nearly corded power.
I think they have fixed the issues they were having with the batteries. Ive been running them for several years and have never had an issue. Plus word is built in fuel gauges are in the works.
