Bosch…but they are expensive. Whatever you get, don’t go less than 18 Volts. The more the better. But then again there can be a problem with more volts than 18 because it’s a bigger battery and heavier.
Makita, Dewalt or Panasonic would be next on my list….after that it doesn’t really matter they are all about the same.

As far as a corded hammer drill, I would recommend a Bosch. A cordless drill, it would depend on the type of work you are going to do. The Makita brand offers a lithium-ion battery that charges in 1/2 the time as a dewalt. Dewalt though is very popular for their durability. I myself is partial to Ridgid brand, unlike the Dewalt, the Ridgid offers a lifetime service agreement.

I own 4 of them and prefer them in this order:
Milwaukee (by a long shot)
Bosch
Makita
Dewalt (rarely use this, it’s low quality)

Makita in my opinion. Fantastic bearings, reliable. Top quality. Better than DeWalt
Metabo. Briliant, reliable cordless drills.

Look into Hitachi. I am a professional carpenter, and built a hotel. We were given Hitachi cordless impact screw guns, and they were awesome. I cannot tell you how many screws we had to drive, but if I had to guess it was about a box a day, and they performed flawlessly. I currently use a dewalt, but if I ever have to replace it I will buy a Hitachi.
