    Best bolt/bolt carrier group out there for my needs?

    I am getting a new 5.56 upper from BCM, 14.5" midlength lightweight, MOE handguards, 1.5 Battlecomp brake, on a AP lower, SSA-E Geiselle trigger, CTR stock and CS buffer spring with T2 tungsten buffer.

    I haven't ordered a bolt/bolt carrier group yet and wondered if you all could give me an objective idea as to the difference between say the AR15Performance ITS Extreme Duty Bolt Carrier Group, 5.56-9310 alloy superbolt, and Nitro coating of them (or getting the superbolt and the Nickel Boron Coated M16 carrier)

    vs the BCM Ion Bonded M16 bolt carrier group

    Trying to go as light as possible here with the LW build. I want extreme reliability here.

    Thanks for your assistance!

    My top three in no particular order would be..Colt,LMT, and BCM F/A BCG's. I haven't found a need for a special treated bcg and the ones in the pic below have proven themselves to be uber reliable.

    I'd switch these two items for a USGI SS spring and an H buffer based on my 14.5 middy use.

    As far as the BCG? DD, Colt, or BCM would be fine.

    +1 on this. Colt, LMT, and BCM are all quality.

    I'd say those recommended so far are hard to beat. I'm partial to the standard phosphated DD BCG I got last year.

    Honestly, any of the proven names will be fine:

    DD
    BCM
    LMT
    Colt
    etc.

    Rainier thunderbolt also seems pretty legit (M16, proper testing, etc.), though I personally haven't used one and I haven't heard about it as much as the above.

    As far as springs/buffer go, I would go Tactical springs CS blue spring H2 buffer.

    How about from Noveske website?

    Are those made by Noveske or somewhere else?

    Those are either Noveske or made for Noveske. I have one and had to lap the rear of the carrier because it was chewing up my buffer.
    I have 2 Bravos and both where good to go out of the box.
