"Would you buy Bosch over DeWalt or another brand if you were going to spend $200. for a 18volt cordless drill?"
Two questions that I would ask myself:
Which brand has better repair parts availability? What brand do most professional contractors use?
Convenient repair parts availibility is the reason that for over 40 years I've purchased nothing but Sears washers and dryers, rather than Whirlpool, Maytag, or other brands. For me, it's an important consideration.
I've owned a few Bosch products over the years but have yet to find one that I was entirely satisfied with, so I'd personally go with DeWalt . (For what it's worth, he contractors I know seem to prefer the professional drill lines produced by Makita and Milwaukee and use DeWalt drill bits.)
Just my opinion/observation.
