For my first build, I have made up my mind to go with a BCM complete upper.

16" BFG w/mid-length low profile gas block
13" BCM KMR (maybe ALPHA)
BCM BCG
BCM Gunfighter Ambi Charging handle

Not sure which barrel would be my best option between Enhanced Light weight, Light weight or Regular.

I will just be plinking and goofing around with it, not my primary home defense.

Do you guys have any feedback on which barrel I might enjoy the most? Most versatile? Best all-around?

Thanks!

Why not just go with a complete BCM upper?

I am. But not sure which barrel option to go with (I have the option of all 3 barrel types) Sorry if I was confusing by listing out the other stuff that is included with the complete upper, just wanted to throw that out there in advance if anyone was gonna ask.

I can't think of any reason to go with the standard pencil lightweight over the ELW.  The ELW has great balance with more of the weight close to the receiver and at least theoretically handles heat better.  I went with the KMR Alpha.  Cheaper, better finish, and actually have a good selection of uppers in stock.
