I'd go for the Forrest Chopmaster from Amazon (Tool Crib). Best price
and an awesome blade. If you can afford it, it only hurts for a short
time. ;)

take care of them they will last many years and the cost really comes down.
I have some 10" 80 tooth blades that are 14 years old and still going.

I can help you to narrow your search:
Avoid using TK blades in a 12" MS, and stay away from any Delta blade - they
are cheap, Chinese made crap.

Freud ...hands down. I don't know why a "thin kerf" chop
saw blade. The regular kerf isn't going to deflect as much
and will give better cuts.

I recently bought the Freud Diablo, 80 tooth and it cuts nice and
smooth and so far no tear out at all. I love it!
