Additional thought that no one addressed yet. The diameter of your auger plays a role. If you typically fish holes 6-7" or less then truly no reason to use anything other than your construction drill (milwaukee is tough to beat). However if you like to fish bigger holes, as the ice gets thicker and/or slushy (berry), then a construction drill can become difficult. A dedicated electric ice auger of the same larger diameter (say 8") will work much better.
For me a 6" nils paired with my milwaukee covers 96.238% of my ice fishing.
