I have a new upper from PSA on the way and I have the BCG from my DPMS sportical upper. Would it be worth it for me to buy a new BCG from Core15 or are they going to be essentially the same?

My DPMS BCG only has about 250 rounds through it or so. Any suggestions would be nice. I know a chrome lined or NiB would be best, but a little expensive as the holidays are coming around.

Pretty sure this is the basic DPMS BCG that I have

What are you doing with the old upper? selling it? If so you could probably recoup the cost of a new BCG buy selling the old one with it.
I just got a BCG from core15 and it is very nice but it looks just like any "generic" BCG of old for $99. It works just fine just no "fancy" markings on it though.

Yeah, I've already sold the old upper. I think I'll just use this BCG.

I may go with a Daniel Defense or a BCM eventually if I ever find one in stock

With only 250 rounds through it I wouldn't worry, I'd use it. For extra insurance you could just get a new bolt and use the old carrier, keep the old bolt for a spare or offer it to whomever you sold the upper to. It is easier to find a bolt or carrier than a whole BCG now a days.

Shoot till it breaks.  Replace.  Don't overthink it.

exactly.

fwiw the Core15 bcg's I've received have been nicely machined and finished.  Best bang for the buck in my opinion.
