Whatever you get, I would recommend staying with a KAC SR-25/DPMS platform, it seems that parts are more available, as are 308 PMAGs. JP also makes a very nice bolt for the DPMS pattern as well.
For barrels, I would recommend a Criterion (basically a button-rifled Krieger), or pick some other premium maker. Lilja makes a good DPMS 308 compatible barrel for a little under $500. It also comes in a good medium profile, either 18" or 20".
Good luck! Big AR's are really cool, and wow can some of them shoot!
FYI, if you go DPMS pattern vs AR-10 (Armalite), Noveske barrels are designed to be used with the AR-10 pattern. NOT DPMS.
