I don't have a reciprocating saw... just looked it up online... I need one.
Saws - I have a few different ones around, but I usually end up with the bucksaw if it's big and rough or the hacksaw if it has to be neater. I guess I like the tension on both ends... don't have to worry about the flubbety-wubbety effects when you're in a hurry.
You forgot a miter box, I have to have one, can't make a straight cut without it!
I have an electric chainsaw, but if it's going to take longer to roll out the cord, check the oil and the chain tension, and then put it away afterwards, than the amount of cutting to be done, well I'll just use one or the other bucksaw instead.

I do have a jigsaw too for cutting wide board or what is not a straight cut. But the reciprocating saw looks like a bit more fun than that.
