Many SMEs disagree with this. Op rod uppers do better, according to people who put more rounds down range per year than I will in my life, in SBRs, while suppressed, and while shooting full auto. Especially all three combined. But if you aren't doing any of those three, a DI upper will serve you better. And yes mistwolf, I know calling it DI is a pet peeve of yours. 
Also, I don't buy the "spare parts" argument. Only 1 or 2 parts on an AA system, for example, will be hard to source a replacement for if shtf or something. He could go out and buy a SCAR 16 and have every single part aside from the pistol grip as hard to source a replacement. Or he could buy a SR15 and never find a spare bolt or barrel. I'm not saying he'll ever need a replacement, but those weapons do have wear parts. A solid op rod won't likely break and will probably last the life of the entire weapon. Yes, they have broke at least once in the past, but every company has issues from time to time.
The same argument about parts can be made for any pistol that's not a Glock, 1911, or 92fs.
