Daniel Defense or BCM all the way
Go with the DD, it has a lifetime warranty, the factory guarantees you will be happy with it or return your money/replace the lower. THey make damn fine gear accross the whole spectrum, I have never heard of a problem with them that wasn't operator error, or a QC slip up (Which happens to every manufacturer out there regardless of QC regulation/control methods implemented, there is no such thing as a 100% deffect free manufacturing facility, not even for simple paper clips, anyone who claims otherwise is a fool and a liar.). The flared mag well is really a plus, you can use literally any magazine you could possibly find; I have been trying to find one that gives my DD M4 a problem and I have had no such luck as of yet; they all seat properly and function smoothly, even the older crappy GI mags with 20 years of crap on the outside. The quality of the DD for $120.00 +/- is more than worth it. I think spending $40.00 over the spikes tactical is more than worth it considering the name that DD has for themeselves in teh industry, and hell Larry Vickers designed the DD lower; how could you go wrong?
Really any lower will work though, just don't get a double star or DPMS, I have seen too many problems with those two; especially DoubleStar- they don't mate well to other manufacturers uppers in my personal experience; not sure if anyone else has had those issues though?
Never dealt with Spikes Tac before, but I hear generally bad things from people I trust in the know, that is hearsey though; so take it for what it is worth.
