The heat treat of the steel is more important when it comes to metal failures in high stress areas like bolts.
Virtually any steel with a shitty heat treat will yield a shitty bolt, even C158.

I'm real comfortable with my current BCM, Colt, SIONICS and SOLGW BCGs and while I see no reason to expand my horizons, I would also trust Centurion, DD, LMT and FCD. The only coated BCGs I own are SIONICS Np3, that is the only fancy finish I'll use. You can have the rest, I'll stick with phosphate. I'm sure Geissele BCGs are quality but nothing uber special.
If I was going to point at one BCG and say "That one is the best." it would probably be KAC.

Wright Armory stopped offering NP3 months ago. There's supposedly new shops that offer it now, but I think the shops are just collecting enough parts before sending a batch to Coating Technologies (the actual owners of NP3/NP3+, Robar merely had an arrangement with them).
I wouldn't say that the extra coatings solve any problems, but they could further optimize the performance of the bolt carrier, and aren't a bad thing necessarily.
The LMT e-BCG is probably a good contender for unambiguously having some advantages over a milspec BCG. The SureFire OBC is also very interesting, though it seems to not have lasted very long on the market.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Gotcha. I thought you made an M4 carbine with all water/rust proof parts.
