I've tried cordless and didn't think they had enough power or longevity; I
tried corded and didn't like the cord "tail" I had to drag around
everywhere, or having to uncoil and untangle/recoil a long cord at the end
of work. I tried one of those power-head + trimmer attachment rigs which I
thought was too heavy and awkward for extensive use.

What I found that I really like is a high-wheeled gas-driven string trimmer.
Sears has one, and presumably there are other brands around. It does not
have a "bump" line dispenser -- instead it uses a really heavy-duty line
that may go for several weeks without needing replacement, and it's just a
matter of cutting the right length of line from a spool and snapping the
replacement in place.

The Sears Craftsman trimmer has never needed service and is now nine years
old. It starts every time, even after I let it sit for two years because I
was using a lawn service. Most of all, I like it because I don't have to
carry it and it's light enough to push easily wherever I want to use it.

My trimmer is gas-free and it works great. It's called Roundup. It's
a much more permanent job.

===================

Much of my trimming will be around the edges of a vegetable garden. Roundup
is not safe for such use.

Oh brother. I guess you don't buy anything at the supermarket then.
