I'd like to hear some opinions on which one's the best. Thanks!

While there are no owner reviews on these saws, both vendors are VERY reputable!

This might come in handy too (although if you "Google" crosscut saw sharpening, and look at the images, many have made their own custom jigs.)

One of these is handy too!

I have 5 chain saws. If I have to resort to a hand saw I think I will just shoot myself and get it over with.

+1 on the champion tooth. They're easier to buck with than a perforated lance, especially on small diameter wood (less than 12"). A 4'-5' Disston #954 is an excellent saw. If patient you should be able to get it on Ebay for less than 75.00 , or 25.00-30.00 on Craigslist. A good filer can make it sing:
