I want to build a XM177. My first question is can I use a slickside upper or do I need to use a teardrop upper receiver.

Either one would be correct, the XM177 model 609 had the forward assist the XM177 model 610 was a slick side.

Spend some time here, Colt's USGI M16 series variation guide edition IV (Off of this site)

And here, Home of the Black Rifle

You will find your answers.

I type way too slow...

It depends…The XM177 used a slick-side upper. The XM177E1 had a forward assist, as did the XM177E2. Take a look at the RETRO BLACK RIFLE website. There's quite a bit of info concerning retro Colt carbines.

Go here. It depends on exactly what you mean by XM177.

eta: Boy, am I slow.

I think half the board has that one in line.
The other half already have built one.
