I guess I would be mostly looking at
- weight
- durable/reliable
- balance
- perceived value versus $$$
Echo has some nice models as well as Stihl. I am assuming you are talking weedwacking only and nothing with replaceable heads. Depending on the level you want to buy into, even the Ryobi's are pretty good.
I've also even seen people buy based on the oil mixture ratio. They wanted to have as much equipment as possible to use the same mixture ratio so they didn't have a bunch of can's of gas.
