Which one to get $300 or so?

Home Dept will usually rip to dims free or slight charge after so many cuts. That panel saw is pretty slick.
Other than that I would rather rip with a table saw just build a rip bench. Radial arm saws unless you buy a very good one have adjustment troubles at the head swivel. If you can find a old powermatic 70s era Montgomery Wards they were made by Rockwell when they were good. My dad had one now owned by my brother and that thing is legit.
