Nothing is wrong with the standard springs.  But when you start getting into odd barrel lengths or attaching sound suppressors you may need a little different spring.  And then there are people in competitions who want minimum power loadings for low recoil and they need a lower power spring for reliable function.

so for someone that is loading a little hotter round they would want the higher power spring so that the rifle will function? Thanks for the help

I would just get a little heavier buffer.

A little hotter, no.  But if you are using an upper for something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM then an extra power spring helps.

Nothing wrong with milspec. Different springs/buffers just change the cycle rate. In my M4 I run a increased spring with a h3 buffer. Decreases muzzle jump and gets quicker more accurate follow ups. I run a milspec spring with h2 buffer in midrange tac rig.
