Not sure about forum choice but I used to exclusively use LWRC LPKs; they included NiB FCG parts which IMO were far better than milspec at near milspec prices.

A few years ago I found JPs on sale sans FCGs; their “small parts” were OK.

Today I would at least try Geissele’s LPKs.

Not looking so much for LPKs as spare parts.

Roll your own, as in every time you order online or purchase at the LGS get a spare part,pin,spring or 2
you will be surprised how fast it will build up as long as you can restrain from turning them into a gun.
I started mine with a Bak-Up bolt from Aim and then started on what I felt were important. One day I will
get a set of "criticals" packed together for the BO bag.

CMMG or Spikes without a trigger.

Folks can laugh if they want...but I like DPMS small parts like pins, springs etc.  Been using that shit since 2007 or so with great results.

Order a spare rifle.  You will have all the parts.

I have a bolt and a couple LPKs just for future builds, I also have several sets of gas rings.  That is as good a spares kit that I need.

These days I generally buy the parts individually.
The parts I get from Fulton Armory have always been good.
The parts I get from Brownell’s have always worked for me, but I am selective about the manufacturer.
Lately I have been getting some KNS detents.
I have used several DPMS kits over the years.
Any of the higher end vendors should have good parts.

I second the recommendation for DPMS lower parts - I've also used them for > 10 years without issues.

Build your own.

I use a lot of Bushmaster parts, they sell several parts kits that will be a good start.

Lost parts kit

Field repair kit

Anytime I order parts I add on a few spare parts, they add up over the years.

I buy spares from KNS. I believe they do their own machining.

PSA LPK and a PSA Premium BCG

I've got a couple of these from SOLGW. Very high quality. I also use his full LPKs. I find his NiB triggers to be a bit another than the BCM I have.

ETA: As someone else said,  I also grab a few small things from Brownells when they have free shipping days. That's where I get roll pins, extractor springs, trigger/hammer springs, etc.

Armalite used to make a lost parts kit in a small box. My backup kit is similar to one of those but more comprehensive, 2-3 of every small part ordered from various suppliers stuffed in a small box, a full LPK and RE springs for both carbine and rifle length RE, and a full spare BCG. Between that and having multiple serviceable weapons I feel comfortable knowing I could maintain them for long enough to deplete a substantial supply of ammo.

Field repair kit is it. Now I just need to see which has the best selection.

Some stuff I find hard that it wears out

Most of the springs and detents come from wither CMMG or DPMS, so, unless you're looking for a specific LPK, just buy the individual parts from Brownells.

I have gotten CMT, Spikes, no name, and Aero Precision. I have to say the mil spec trigger with the Aero kit was excellent, closely followed by one of the Spikes. The no name felt like rough rocks. CMT/Stag used to be great about selling individual parts. But I normally change out the triggers, grips, and Safeties so I have loads of those spare.
