Do I need to buy a stainless one or does it not matter?  I'm pretty responsible with cleaning and oiling things...

Both wil work. I have the stainless. The benifit is, it takes less lube to run, about 1 drop per rail, which causes it to accumulate less gunk. It will run longer between cleanings and is easier to clean when you are finished shooting.
The standard kit will more likely require a break in period for the rails and bolt to "slick up". Or you can polish them yourself.
Either one will work for you and if you do have an issue, CMMG has great CS.
Do Not try to run Remington Golden Bullets. They seem to cause problems in all kits. Always use a copper washed round like Winchester 333 or 555 bulk packs, Federal Bulk or CCI mini mags.

Also my experience on all points. Good post.

Cool, thanks for the info.  I hate those Rem. golden bullets anyways.

Another vote for stainless.  I have the regular one and it took awhile and a lot of polishing to get it to run 100%.  I have heard the stainless doesn't need as much break in or polishing.

I have the regular one and love it. It's got thousands of rounds through it and runs like a top.

I've got a regular one and it's worked great once I cleaned it and de burred/polished the firing pin.

Nice. What kind of rifle are you running it in?
