XGT looks to be a very good range of tools, but I've no personal experience as I don't wish to use another battery platform and they're still comparatively expensive.
LXT 18V tools are widely available at good prices and have served me well, although it should be pointed out that lower spec options are best avoided.
What issues are you having with Milwaukee? Everyone I know who uses their tools are quite happy with them - except for impact driver chucks.
All major manufacturers seem to offer an extended warranty, but these are intended for DIY users and specifically state as much. The extended warranties are also limited in what they cover.

I’ve had issues with the Clutch on both the Combi and Impact. Also issues with Batteries suddenly not charging.
They are unless you include Hilti.
Not really, Hilti are no better than any other brand they're just stupidly expensive.
As long as you buy the 'pro' range with 18v and decent AH batteries, you can choose any brand within your budget.
