Quoted: ZAK, for a mostly plinker maybe one day home defense what would you recommend? Not sure if I want to spend the money but considering it. How much slack is in the 2-stage RRA? I don't care for slack.

For a H.D. or plinker, I'd just stick with a stock military trigger, if you have one that's halfway decent. The only one I have left (going in my "GIFFMAN" build soon!) feels like a nice DA trigger pull, but in about 0.1" trigger movement.
For a precision rifle, I really like to have a 2-stage trigger. The whole point of the first stage
is that it's take-up (what you call "slack", I think). Then it stops right at the 2nd stage and there's no more movement until it breaks.
Take-up in almost any trigger design can be a reliability feature. In some triggers that are adjusted for NO take-up, if some crap gets in there, it can physically block the trigger from moving forward enough in reset to catch again. This is a fairly common failure mode in autopistols which have their trigger overtravel screw in too far.
Back to your question, if you don't like 2-stage triggers and don't want a stock military trigger, the JP single-stage with the 4# spring kit might be what you're looking for. JP recommends them for "duty". Mine have been 100% reliable.
