Husq made a pretty good dirt bike

From my experiences (somewhat vast):

Trimmers: Husky, by a small margin...the 324L is the best trimmer I've ever used, and it's fairly lightweight. The trimmer head might be what separates the two (though you could put Husky's head on a Stihl).

Backpack Blowers: Husky, easily. The 580 beats the hell out of any Stihl blower I've used.

Chainsaws: Stihl. I've just had better luck with them overall. Their pole saw is twice as good as anything Husky offers.... Though, my favorite saw I've ever owned is a Husky (one that's light enough to hold with one hand).

Hedge trimmers: Stihl. They make Husky's versions look like a child's toy.

Unspellable or homonym? I'll go with Steel
