I have experience with the three you listed though I don't own the Noveske. I do have a Noveske lower I use often, but that doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot.
The SCAR is a great rifle. My main reason for buying it was just to see what it was all about, to be honest. I didn't really think of it as my go-to gun or for classes, but I really enjoy shooting it. I do have to be honest here and the main reason I still have it is because of the premium I paid to get it and don't want to take such a hit.
The SR15 is an extremely agile gun. It balances perfectly and is extremely quick on transitions compared to other 16" guns that I've owned. Some talk about the proprietary parts being a negative, but I don't see it as an issue. Buy an extra bolt if it's that much of a concern now so you don't have to wait a day or two for it to come in. With the SR15 CQB coming out next year, I don't see it being as much of a concern since it will be one more e3 gun in the group. This is just for me. I understand the concern if it's an issued gun.
As for Noveske, I look at them more for an accurate rifle. Not saying they can't be as agile as an SR15, but if I was looking for more of a precision rifle, then I'd look at Noveske first. I hope that came out right.
Of course, Bravo Company shouldn't be left out of this list, but since you didn't ask I won't go into it other than to say, for me, the KAC and BCM are the two choices for guns I'll use in carbine classes and as "hard use" guns.
I shoot a couple thousand rounds a month. Things break now and then in the process. My only real issue about the SCAR (other than it being so tall and not having a longer hand guard) is that I can't walk into the local gun shop and buy a new stock, rail, bolt, etc., not to mention it's different than all my other rifles in 5.56. Having said that, I've yet to break a part on the SCAR, but I also haven't run it as hard as the others.
I have nothing negative to say about the SR15, it's a tough gun and shoots great. Adding a BattleComp or Triple Tap makes it that much better.
