What brands and attributes should I be paying close attention to with the upper?

Should I go with a 14.5" barrel then get the flash containing tip to make it 16", or just go with a longer barrel?

I dont think you will notice any difference, so it depends on the uppers available or deals that come up.

How much do you want to spend?

I would suggest getting a 16" barrel. If you get the 14.5" you either have to have the 1.5" flash suppressor permanently attached or do some paper work for the BATF to have a short barreled weapon.

You wont notice any difference because by law the 14.5 inch barrell has the flash suppressor/compensator permenantly attatched by law. If I were you I would get a 16in barrel with a 1 in 7 twist. This gives you more options as there are some great compensators on the market that further enhance accuracy and reduce felt recoil

Make sure if you go with the 14.5 you get the Flash suppressor pinned and weld over the pin or you will technically have a SBR.
