The 2nd gen is much better/faster/stronger and can be seen used side by side with XR tools which have been always been the high end of Dewalt tools.
2nd gen has a physical speed switch vs only the variable trigger, 2nd gen is much shorter/stubby, and (subjective) the motor ramp up is quicker/snappier.
For raw numbers you have:
DCF809...........DCF840.........DCF850
2800 RPM.......3200 RPM......3250 RPM
3200 IPM.........4200 IPM.......3800 IPM
1700 in-lbs.......1700 in-lbs.....1825 in-lbs
The 2nd gen (DCF850, the one listed here) is worth about $100, the 1st gen (DCF809, Ace for same price in a kit) ADN DCF840 are worth around $70 as bare tool. None are necessarily bad, but the 2nd gen is better than 1st gen in nearly every way. The DCF840 with it's higher IPM could be better if you're only driving small-medium screws all the time, but the DCF850 wouldn't be far behind and will catch up when fasteners get bigger and tougher.
DCF787 was the basic brushless model, with the older DCF887 the higher end XR model
DCF787 is probably comparable in performance to the DCF809, but I would probably go with 809 just because it's a bit newer. I would put the DCF840 above both 787 and 809.
For just building up/starting your power tool set, $99 I would think probably be best spent on the DCF840D1 [lowes.com] or the DCF850 listed here if you want something little stronger (you would still need a battery and charger though). There is also a set with a drill AND impact driver w/ 2 batteries for $149 at Lowe's that is a pretty good set for the price, DCK227D2 [lowes.com].
For comparing different models/kits:
If the last letter is a "B" it's tool only.
The last letters in the part numbers I just listed, "D1" and "D2" are indicating the batteries, the letter "D" is the battery (the 2ah) and the number is how many.
DCK are kits "Dewalt Cordless Kit", DCD "Dewalt Cordless Drill", DCF "Dewalt Cordless" impact (not sure where the "F" comes from, but they're impacts), and many others
There are many little things like this that become easy to spot if you're buying/using the tools a bunch, I've pretty much stuck to Dewalt stuff and now know their stuff pretty well.

If it's new, and "DCF850" for $55, it's not genuine...

If it comes with a lanyard, 100% fake. And if it has Phillips screws holding it together, it is fake.
