"I never learned from a man who agreed with me." Robert A. Heinlein
I think 16" midlength, LW barrel. I don't care which among the top ones but Daniel Defense has been reported to more accurate than average. everything else could be any of the better components mentioned above. I am kind of partial to my Geissele SSA triggers and BAD-CASS-ST selectors though...
I would want an optic on my "only" gun. I think magnification with a good 1- 4 or more, scope covers more bases than a RDS alone. Right now I'm using the SWFA 1-6 and it's good. I don't have anything to compare it against but I had their 1-4 and liked it so I got this one when it became available. Very satisfied.
I also would like to shoot heavier bullets all the time if I could. 75-77gr is ideal but since I have bunch of 69gr under my bench, I could live with that...

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” –Thomas Jefferson, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in “On Crimes and Punishment”, 1764

Basically you are using 1960s manipulations, so the difference is transparent.
Contemporary manipulations have the user running the charging handle by pinching the release lever side of the CH with the thumb and index finger, or, for those that like to break their latches and charging handles, use a knife-hand technique on the latch side of the CH.
Putting a latch release on the right side of the CH permits shooters to use identical manipulations from either side.

When I get the money, and prioritize it, I'd like some NVG kit too. But it'd be useless without the training on how to use it properly, so I left it off the list.

We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
Kosh and Jack addressed it pretty competently, so I don't have much to add. Basically, it just eliminates the need for yet another "work-around" for a left-handed firer, making manipulations swifter, more positive and more intuitive. While you've found a system that works, it also is forcing you to remove your strong hand from fire control -- not a preferred method.
Having a viable latch on the right side elimintates the need to reach over the top of the gun to access the standard latch. While that is something that we probably no longer even think about after years of training, it's admittedly a lot more convenient to be able to engage it without the need for rolling the the gun to starboard (or hunting for the latch with the the offside hand) any more than necessary. It's just a surer, more efficient approach.

Stand your ground; don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here. -- Captain John Parker, Lexington, 1775.
One of these days I'd really like to see some pics of all these crazy cut down barrel, urx rails, tiny gas ports, etc. I've owned most of what you listed there and the last thing I'd ever want as my ONLY FIGHTING RIFLE is one that's all crazy proprietary and rigged that also has a brake!
But, with all the cut down KAC barrels and urx rails you have with super tiny gas ports and nt4 suppressors, you might know more than I do about how uber reliable that set up truly is.
Still, I'd love to see just one single pic or the ultimate in flying unicorns, a video.... But I know that's asking a LOT!
Personally, I'm still choosing a standard Colt 6921 or BCM 14.5" mid length with absolutely nothing proprietary and no brakes. There's very little I can't do with a 14.5" M4.
Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe
