Even though I think BCM, Colt, Daniel Defense, Noveske, and LMT all produce excellent rifles with very similar quality levels perhaps you should buy the Daniel Defense since you have had a chance to get some hands on time with one.
I think either the MK 12 or a V9 or V11 with the 18" s2w barrel will give you the accuracy you are looking for.

or if you want to save weight and trade a little accuracy a DD V5 or V11 with a standard 16" barrel will work.
On the subject of stocks, I've got both the DD stock and the BCM GF stock. Both are solid with very, very little play. I prefer the BCM stock. I love Daniel Defense but I find the pad is uncomfortable. It's got ridges that dig into my shoulders after a while. Just my two cents.
Now having said that about the stocks, I love my DD rifles. Nothing could get me to part from them. You just might have to swap out the stocks if you find them uncomfortable.
Another question. If I go on DD website I see they have the option to "build your own rifle". If I were to go that route do I get a rifle without all the white model markings on it? It's one thing I'm not a huge fan of. Also do the other companies like Noveske, BCM, etc... allow me to order a rifle custom with the stock, trigger, etc... that I want and ship it as a completely built rifle? Being unfamiliar with the AR platform I don't want to have to build my first one but it would be nice to be able to order it the way I wanted it. Stock, hand guard, trigger, etc....
I will respectfully submit that its an individual thing. I had a carbine for a very short time. First time I shot it at distance (600-800 yards), I had trouble spotting my hits through the scope, not at all what I remembered from shooting the rifles I had in the past. Holding the gun shouldered, and moving the pistol grip up and down, the stock felt like a loosey-goosey underfolder AK stock to me, as the scope moved enough to have trouble seeing through it well, apparently especially when shooting it. I looked at other new guns in a shop, all seemed similar. I traded the carbine off for an A2 rifle very soon afterwards and couldn't be happier about the solid stock. Spotting hits is now more like a 22 than the feel the carbine had. The CTR stock looks good in that regard, but the average carbine stock drives me up the wall. Probably just weirdness on my part, but its very noticeable. At closer ranges it may not be noticeable, but most of my shooting is at 300 yards and out.
