Being a cheapskate, and usually doing rough work, I go for pretty cheap blades, in case I hit a nail or something, no big loss. But I had one project that was critical, cutting some expensive pre-finished molding with little room for error. I bit the bullet and bought a blade that cost almost as much as my saw (I think it was a Freud).
But wow - the results were fantastic! Smooth, no tear out whatsoever. It was worth every penny and more for that project.

I go cordless with my saws. With the circular saws, the blade that came with had problems cross cutting a 2 x 4. With the Freud, no problem at all. I didn't even try using the original blade on the miter and just made the upgrade.
