will a regular size firing pin work in the DD BCG with the large spool firing pin? I am a new guy and didn't know there are different types of firing pins. It looks like I am going with the DD as long as it is compatible with the standard firing pin that I will have in my backup kit. Thanks again for the help guys.

Yes the AR15 small spool (and M16 large spool)firing pins will work in the DD BCG,and any other shrouded bolt carrier such as the AR15 enhanced carriers we see nowadays.
The AR15 small spool firing pin was modified to work with the unshrouded carriers and notched hammers.
I personally think the large spool firing pins are better to use in the shrouded carriers as they have a larger contact surface to engage both legs of the firing pin retaining pin more evenly,and its the original design.Some may say thats nit picking,but is my preference.
