Dremel is a name brand for hand held rotary tools. I have and have had several so I will give you my .02
Vacuum powered - You connect it to a shop vac or other vacuum and the suction powers it, while this may sound good on the surface I can't see this having anykind of power from this I suggest avoiding it.
Cordless - Battery powered, I have had several. You get less torque than with a corded version, and they run down. I do have their new micro version and I like it so far, but cordless will always be a balance between power and battery life.
Corded - Best bet IMHO, get more features for less money than with the cordless and do not have to worry about waiting for one to charge.
Suggested Features -
Bits - This will depend on what you want to use it for. I use my Dremels for everything from mixing epoxy to cutting and sanding everything (metal, wood, foam, fiberglass, etc). You can get more for your money if you buy a family of bits in a kit (example) but a few bits I have found most useful are:
NOTE Like most power tools, a rotary tool takes a bit of practice, they can get away from you and eat up material (including your jeans and leg) if you are not careful. I have found that 90 percent of the time a light touch.. pull back.. and light touch.. pull back is the best method.
edit: spelling and format
I'd recommend a kit like this one. I stick with the Dremel branded kits because they're not that expensive and you never know what kind of quality you'll get with the cheaper knockoff ones.
I think a lot of people have too high expectations of what a Dremel can do. Its not a very powerful tool, and only well suited for small tasks.
For cutting metal, the 1 1/2" EZ LOCK cutting wheels are the only way to go.
The rough stone looking attachments are sanding stones, and are quite abrasive, although can break relatively easily if you put too much pressure on them. They're for rough sanding, not polishing.
You can get polishing attachments for dremels, and they work well on small things.
Check amazon vs home Depot or Lowe's. If you think you'll ever use any of the stuff in the combo kit, the kits are great. And with it I would just buy one of the assortment attachment kits that comes with different drum Sanders, polishers, cut off wheels, etc. I'd you don't think you'll ever use the other tools in the combo kit, I'd still recommend getting the corded version that comes in that kit.

I'd recommend getting a rotary tool ($46 for a B&D one on amazon, plus plastic cutting bits) instead of the hole saw, it's a more universal tool that can pretty easily cut circles in plastic for a bit more money. I just used mine last night to cut holes in lids and it worked like a charm.
I would say just get something like this kit. To be honest even if you wait for fathers day these sets tend to be around $20 in price even "on sale." According to cammelcammelcammel the lowest it has been in the last year is $17 and change.
