Thinking about maybe building a 9mm or .40 SW AR pistol. Who makes the best upper to start with?

I'm currently working on a 9mm sbr. My barrel (ADCO) is only 4.5 inches long. I got a great deal on a slick sided vltor mur. Inside the Mur upper will be a CMMG ramped bolt. You can go with a unramped bolt, but then you would need a 9mm hammer in your LPK, as opposed to a normal hammer with the use of a ramped bolt. I know 9mm can be tricky, especially when it comes to getting the weapon to run. I'm not sure about 40 (although I'm sure they would work similarly).

I'm assuming since you're asking about the upper first that you already have a lower? Dedicated 9mm or magwell adapter?
