You having built different platforms before, an AR should come easy - and you know having good tools and the best parts are half the battle, will make it easy and run reliable.
Going by the spec's you have - it's a no-brainer: LPK from DD, or G&R. Take it from those here that do this for a living: Do not compromise. You WILL regret it.
Spikes LPK is OK as well - as you have a Spikes lower.(aimsurplus.com - they have other LPK's for good price - if you're patient)
Suggestion: get extra small parts. I tend to have at least 2 spare LPK's laying around. Add to that an extra bunch of detents and springs - every one of them.
I'm assuming once you built one, you're going to build another, and another, and another....
Having a GOOD barrel wrench (open-ended with many pins - avoid the 100-in-1 AR tool)) and upper/lower blocks are crucial. Brownells, Midway and many of the specialized AR vendors will stock most of the quality tools.
A good punch set and roll pin holders (starters) sized for the AR is also really important.
Also - use the search tool - you'll find most any question will have been answered, again and again and again....
Good luck.
edit: yep - Midway has them, but hardly can call it "sale"....at $82.00.........Where are the days of affordable quality parts......
