Agree, my most used tools are circular saw, saber saw, router or rotozip.

Circular saw is either a 7-1/4 or 6" saw boss cordless, used for larger straight line cuts, can do slight curves. Prefered because it cuts quick and clean. Saber saw for more intricate cuts. Drawback is that it WILL have tearout or chips in fiberglass whether you use an up or down cut blade, you just move the chips to the other side.
Routers or rotozip are good all around, universal tools. Drawback is that they spray the chips. Use plywood and make a template, then follow it with the router, done in no time.

I prefer using plain old carbide tipped fine tooth wood blades, they're cheap and last a good long time.
I tried masonry blades, and grinding wheel types, and to be honest with you the fine powdery dust they made worked into everything. Clothes, closed tool boxes everything, I'm sure it would have made it through a regular dust mask.

Ken.
