Better watch out, because I might come steal your rad af tools.
Please show a photo if that rubber duck tape measure.
Here you go from my alt, since sdf.org is being sad about pictures at the moment. -
Does everyone just go based on favorite color or is there some magic im unaware of that I should consider?
Mine are red because that's what the most affordable options were.

If you aren't in a rush the orange big box usually has good deals around black Friday on green, red, orange, blue, and yellow.
It depends on what you want. If you aren't using them to eat and pay the mortgage I'd recommend green. Orange is just slightly better green. If you want something nicer that you can abuse go yellow. If you want to have the new hotness to show off get red. Blue has a ton of third party and knockoff stuff that works with it.
You do need to watch out with the black Friday deals, in general but power tools definitely do it as well.
Make sure the model number of the product on "sale" is the same as the model number of their regularly stocked tools. Sometimes they will bring in special models for sales which are build cheaper and lack specific functions than the regular ones they stock year round, and the model number will be FROTY345B instead of FROTY345A or something.

My dad got me some DeWalt shit for Christmas 15 years ago, I'm a DeWalt guy ever since

I have found that looking on Nextdoor, I can routinely find tools for a good price, that probably "fell off a truck".
