I like the 24/30 tooth carbide from Fire Hooks unlimited. Cuts both residential and light commercial will cut upto 1inch rebar if emergency needed. Should use composite blade if possible.
Here is a bit on our saws. We like the Sait composite but it has some limitations as a composite it is more prone to binding and on cold nights we have had them shatter from the rapid change of heating up in a cut then exposed to the subfreezing air.
