A hammer drill is best for masonry but don't spend the extra money just
for
occasional masonry use. A cordless 3/8" drill of at least 14 volts would
be
best for most. A 1/2" drill will have more power but turn more slowly, in
general. Some have gear speed selection. Both will weigh and cost  more
than
a similar 3/8". The weight can get tiresome. A clutch for driving is very
useful IMHO.

I have the Craftsman C3(19.2volt) system and love it. Same batteries and
charger for many different tools. Having more than one battery so one can
charge while the other is in use is a good idea too.

If your use is seldom an AC powered drill may be better as charging for
very
occasional use can be more of a PIA than extension cords. Better power to
weight too.

IOW, kind of depends on needs and future needs. It's been my experience
too
little power is much more likely to be a problem than too much. YMMV

dollys?
