If I was going to carry 'just one' motorized saw, yeah, it'd be a Destroy-z-all. Lots of blade types, and they're easily changed. I have all the others, and would bring the appropriate ones as jobs dictated, but for having to cut something quickly, can't really beat the versatility of a reciprocating saw. It'd certainly be more versatile than a grinder, though those would probably get through something like a chain a bit faster.
