For projects that are not so convenient to run an extension cord, the cordless are nice. Get a decent one, Millwaukee, Bosch or Dewalt. Sometimes they will come with a cordless driver as well, which are handy.

Pretty much every drill has a hammer option and it isn't good for anything other than soft as butter concrete and a bit of masonary. Rotary drill if you are going to drill concrete
Go cordless 100%, they are extremely powerful these days and the batterys have a good life, plus most if not all kits come with 2 batterys. Also most have fast chargers too - 20 to 40 minutes for a charge.
I've got a lot of mates who work all kinds of trades and all of them use cordless for their drill. Tools that use big power such as grinder / circular saw are better suited to corded setups.
