    The DeWalt 10.8 a bit cheaper https://www.its.co.uk/pd/DCK211D2T-10.8v-XR-2-Piece-Kit-with-2-x-2Ah-Batteries,-Charger-and-Case-_DEWDCK211D2T.htm (was in Bargain Alerts recently) its a good set and for DIY it covers a lot of bases.

    It depends on your anticiapted usage- 1.5ah or 2ah batteries wouldn't last long if you're doing a lot of drill/ driving long fixings. I have a pair of Bosch 18v cordless drill/ driver and impact. I opted to get a bare cordless angle grinder to make the most of the batteries I had. If you think you might use another cordless tools that shares the same batteries it might inform your choice.

    I'd go with the brushless drill, they seem to have a lot more power and use less battery
