Personally, I give a -1 to colt because of QC issues I've read about, and the way they treat their civilian customers.

I like the A,B,C, and Rs of the AR15 world

Arma Lite
Bushmaster
Colt
Rock river Arms

For price, fit , finish I like RRA. The last 3 guns I built have been built using all RRA parts bought of EE board

Only my 2 cents

Bushmaster has a better warranty than Olympic Arms.  

Was very satisfied with Bushmaster after sending a rifle in for repair service.

The main differences between the manufactures are:

quality control
customer service
sources for parts used
options and types of barrels used
price

You should look around this website and read the threads.  Do a search on each brand that your interested in.  Decide what kind of rifle you want and what you will use it for. Hunting, target shooting, match, home defense, varmint, LE?  What kind of use/abuse will it receive.  How much do you intend to use your rifle.  How much are you willing to spend.  

Welcome to the site.

RRA, Bushy, Armalite and as much as I don't want to say it...Colt, are all good rifles, and all have good parts.
