There is no "BEST AR-15"

There are a a few brands that are considered to be better than others but there is not "BEST"

Take a look at Colt if you want to spend a few hundred extra bucks for it to say Colt on the side.  You probably can't find a better AR-15 than Colt but you can certainly find others that are just as good for less money.

Take a look at LMT, STAG, Armalite, Bushmaster, RRA and CMMG.  There are some other good brands to look at to, I can't list them all.  

In my opinion, you can't beat LMT for the price.

ETA:  Welcome to AR15.com.  Please take the time to read the sticky threads and look around the site.  Your same questions is asked all the time and gets the same answers.  Everyone has their own opinions, you need to take everyones opinion for what you paid for it and develop your own.

What's your budget?

What you intended use for the rifle?

What configuration do you want?

I would say, based on price, LMT, CMT/Stag/S&W, and BCM.  I left Colt and Noveske out due to higher cost, in which case Noveske has more actual value as opposed to simply the resale value.
