I currently have a Geiselle SSA, an ALG ACT, and an American Trigger Co along with a couple of GI issue FCGs from parts kits. They all have their merits and faults.
The GI triggers. Came in the parts kits and I think I "lucked out." Definitely feel smoother now than they did when they were dropped into the rifle after all of the firing. Still pretty damn heavy on their pulls, with both north of 7lbs.
The Geiselle is absolutely brilliant, and not that bad when you think of it as a one time purchase. You'll be swapping the barrel before you swap that FCG. Some people don't like the break, and I was hunting for something "better" so I gave the next one a try in my next build.
The American Trigger Co "Gold" trigger was set up on a distance rifle. Something to be able to shoot out past 200 and have the trigger nice and light, mimicking my bolt action rifle (Weatherby Mark V). I can say that I achieved that goal. The break on this thing is a super light and after a very light first stage. I tried it out with the guarantee that they will buy it back in a month if you're not happy. SOLD. I've been running it since, and for it's chosen role it's fantastic. Light for a duty or HD rifle, but if you're following the rules (finger off the trigger until your sights are on target) it would be no worry.
Then, on the recommendation of a friend I went and tried the ALG ACT for my most recent build. Heavier pull (have not yet gauged it) but its an easy break and a super simple reset. For $150 less than the other options, it's a solid trigger than I'm very happy with.
Next go round will be an SDC simply because I always enjoy trying new things and the flat trigger mimicking one of my favorite 1911's seems like it could be enjoyable to shoot.
