This is a little slick. I haven't seen this saw come up in the free tool with battery combo deals any time recently so if you want this saw it may be a while before something better comes along.

Either of the other two can be used with flexvolt batteries although the DCS573B should in theory get more power from that.
In my experience all three are plenty powerful for standard framing.
I'd pick the 573 in most cases unless you're doing long cuts in thicker material, then the 578 would be better.

Edit: Realized this is the 20V. This is a bad deal, I got my 60V for the same price.

We upgraded from the OP 570 to the 574 and like the 573, you are going to need some larger batteries (8amp in 20v, or 9amp in 20/60v) to experience the difference. The 6amp in the 20/60v does not release enough watts per time frame to fully experience the potential power for either the 574 or 573.
You can chase down the parts, but I am kind of doubting there is much difference between the 574 and the 573 'Flex' that both require larger batteries to get the performance.
Having used the 60v only 578, you are going to need at least the 9amp 20/60v battery that is only 9amp at 20v and 3amp at 60v. You can use the more common 6amp 20/60, but 2amps does not last long.
If I had to have battery, for the same or similar money as the OP 570, I would buy the 574 as we did, or the 573 because should someone upgrade their battery capacities, both saws can benefit from the larger 9amp and up Flexvolt batteries, but still use the 20v, or the 6amp Flexvolt that is quite common. Unless you have deep pockets or a commercial user, the 60v only 578 with larger batteries can get expensive and kind of heavy.
Personally, I would stay with that corded saw for around the house... it will still be running with plenty of power when today's battery powered will be old technology. For the difference in money of decent corded tools for decent battery tools that will not have the same power, you could buy a nice generator for the occasional time there is no outlet close by.
