If you had a choice between an Adams arms 16 inch piston upper or a PSA 16 inch stainless upper which would you chose?

I have read a lot in favor of the piston systems. The Adams arms barrel is melonite bore and not sure how that compares to stainless?

Any tips or experiences are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What are your objectives?

If accuracy is #1, a quality SS barrel would be my first choice. If durability is most important, melonite.

Piston systems work great and don't foul the BCG like a gas system. I picked up an AA 16" cause it was on sale and I didn't have one, plus a friend liked his a lot. Gas systems work just fine so I wouldn't break the bank to get a piston.
