As for the full auto course, I could see that being especially cheap insurance for small teams out there alone in the desert. If they meet up with some cartel people by accident I would personally feel better if someone were laying down covering fire.
I have seen no degrade in accuracy with the BCM uppers vs. Colt. As far as durability is concerned, BCM is hammer-forged vs button-rifled for Colt. Hammer forging is widely acknowledged as being superior for long term use.

As far as FA in a team setting is concerned, fwiw, BPA's generally work alone
