The Oregon Bars are designed a little differently (mostly the "power match" / pro series) than the Husqvarna bars. The only real difference is a better quality bearing in the tip, and they are made of different material, and are lighter. You won't notice it much on a little bar, but go in there and hold up a 32" Husqvarna in one hand, and a 32" Oregon in the other, feels like the Husky is twice as heavy! :P
As far as chain goes, I am a Husqvarna / Oregon freak. But I ONLY use Stihl chain. They are sharp out of the box, are considerably harder, hold an edge longer, and I think you get more life out of them, because you don't take as much material off when filing, because they are harder. I also think that the Stihl "Oli O Matix" (or something like that) deliver bar oil to the entire bar, rather than throwing it off the end. Again, on a shorter / slower bar and chain, won't make that much of a difference. But on a 32", with a bigger sprocket, I still get oil back to the clutch on the bottom side (never did with Oregon), and I turned my oil pump down one click, just because the chains seem to hold onto the oil a little longer as well....
Much of this is personal preference, and I take sh!t on here all the time because I am a "kid", and aparnetly kids don't know about saws, so take it for what it's worth! :/

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
