Out of the three id go DD, but for the price spikes is hard to beat. You could probably find 2 spikes for around the same cost as one DD.

I've had multiple Colts and Spike's, and liked them all equally. I've never owned a DD. Spike's aren't as cheap as they used to be. I guess if I had to choose one it would be Spike's since they have a lifetime warranty on all of their parts.

I have a DD and love the sucker. That said I know both Colt and Spikes too make exceptional quality rifles. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them.

In that case I would say dd or spikes. I would base it off which handguard you think will be more comfortable.

If you're going to spend that much, I would go RRA.

It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

If you were building a lower and separate complete or built upper I'd say Spikes.
Since you're getting a complete rifle, I'd go Daniel Defense then Colt second,
but not the $700 Colt (I think Colt has a cheapo polymer model, but I could be wrong).

RRA is a great choice but they are overly heavy for what they are imo.... other than that they are GREAT

I agree, I've carried a RRA for several years and they are heavy
