AR Lowers

I'm gobsmacked at all the options and accessories available for ARs these days. Last time I really looked, I was coveting Dusty's M-4 carbine style musket...

So many options for 80% Lowers. There are forged, milled, 7075-T6, 6060-T6, polymer, carbon fiber, etc. Which and why are each better/worse?

Milled, bead-blasted, anodized, broached magwell, flared magwell, what is important - what is not?

1. Recommendations for moderate use home defense / practice / training (~1000 rnds/yr) 300BLK AR-15 pistol and carbine? Same for .308 AR-10 rifle?

2. Recommendations for moderate use 3Gun / practice / training (~1000 rnds/yr) 5.56 AR-15 carbine?

3. Not liking the extended loop built-in trigger guard lowers. Prefer the traditional removable/folding trigger guard. Any recommendations? (links)


Thanks again.
