A track saw will probably be more convenient than a circular saw. The rail makes things much easier. Peter Millard on YouTube has decent reviews of a bunch of them.
I have a Workzone/Sheppach from Aldi which I upgraded with a high toothcount Freud blade (maybe 40T?) and a 1400 mm Makita rail. It's great, especially hooked up to a shop vac with an auto-on socket.

I have a DeWalt cordless. I’d agree it is used more than a jigsaw. As regards workbenches I would recommend one with holes in such as an MFT and clamps that fit in the holes. As others have said, you might find a track saw more generally useful still.

Think i've decided a circular saw is going to be more useful to me than a jigsaw for home DIY jobs. Mainly cutting shelves, building units etc. Does anyone have any recommendations for circular saws and work benches to use them with. I've seen there's a ton of DIY setups involving clamps etc to build guides but i wouldn't mind investing in something more user friendly/adjustable.
