Second, I think the issue really lies in that you have created at least 5 "THIS VS THAT" threads in the last week and now you're bumping 4 year old threads. You have admittedly fired zero rounds through your weapon. There was a member here who wasn't very accepted at times, but he heeded his own advice. His name was Rob, and his advice was to Go Shoot The Gun.
This forum has a very simple formula that has been time tested for almost a decade. Buy a Colt 6920. This is the base model AR15 that everyone should start out with in a perfect world. It's reliable, quality, and will fire every time you pull the trigger. Once you get a few thousand rounds through it you'll know what type of trigger you need - what type and length handguard you want - what type of light and where you want it placed. These answers don't come from internet message boards, but from personal experience which is partly why threads like the ones you've been making are quite pointless.
docsherm, for example, is constantly riding in vehicles and his weapons and gear reflect that.
a0cake is a no foolin' US Army sniper, and his weapons and accessories reflect that.
markm shoots steel at ranges of like 4000 yards with 11.5" SBRs and super sweet handloads.
We can't tell you what will work best because we don't know what you'll be doing with it or even how you use it. We can just tell what we use, and if you're taking advice from a0cake, docsherm, markm, me, or anyone else you're getting advice that was learned based on our individual experiences only.
Finally, Go Shoot The Gun. I'm sure Geisselle and all of these accessory manufacturers enjoy having you throw money at them but you'll never truly know what you want on your weapon until you have hours and hours of hands on experience with it.
