Why not tweak the Bushmaster? Everyone customizes their rifles anyway. This forum as well as magazines, etc. is flooded with tips and recommendations from armorers on what to check and fix on any M4 clone. I've had my Bushy for a couple of years and hundreds of rounds of all type of 5.56 thru it and it has yet to give me so much as a hiccup! Maybe I'm just lucky, but all I've done to the guts of it is just stake the carrier key properly. I only did that after initial inspection, not because of failure. And yes, I own 2 Colts ( Delta Elite and a HBAR Tactical Carbine ) , so I can honestly say my Bushmaster has been as reliable as either of my Colts.
I say either choice would suit your friend just fine. I don't like that huge dorky S&W logo on the magwell. Put a Redi-Mag over it and it'll look less like a billboard.
