For ferns and heavier stuff, you probably won't be satisfied with the homeowner grade trimmers you find at Home Depot or Lowes. Bite the bullet and buy a commercial-grade trimmer. Yes, it will cost twice as much up front, but it's a one-time purchase.
Look at what the commercial landscapers use: Stihl, RedMax, Shindaiwa. I have a Stihl FS-85 that I've abused for about 14 years. I don't think that model is available any more, if you want a solid shaft you now have to go to an FS-130 (I think).
For trimming brush, I replace the string head with a three-pointed brush blade. It does a great job on ferns, cattails and saplings.
