I myself have decided on MEGA, just 'cause I like the logo.

Whichever's cheapest...

the lower has little bearing on accuracy/reliability, apart from the fact that it houses the FCG...

All the important stuff is in the upper....

My namesake is an old 1991 pre ban Eagle Arms HBAR CAR-15.  The receiver was milled slightly out of spec and it took me 10 years to figure out the problem and two trips to the factory.  It is now a surpurb weapon, but it left me with a bad experience that almost caused me to throw it in the trash after constant frustration with it.

Check out the Lauer (LMT) lowers that Dennysguns has on the EE.  If you want a good looking lower, the Lauer is tits & ass over the EagleArms.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the lowers listed, but my first chioce would be either the Eagle or the Mega.

I just picked up an Ameetec lower last week. It has as good a fit and finish as any I've ever used. $85.00 delivered or 3 for $80.00 ea. delivered. Can't beat the price or the quality.

I am willing to bet that most of those listed are all made by one company.
