I have a 14.5 POF upper with a 9" rail, It is the best AR I have ever fired, hands down... Little heavy but I'm a big guy, so not a issue. The recoil seems to be less too, might be the weight or the piston not sure, I love the gun, no kidding 10 out 10. I beleive that a lot of the other weapons out there are all the same, I carried and fired a colt for 10 years, and like them but all the other ARs out there seem the same, besides barrels. I like the billet stuff too, to me it's a step in the future and there maybe bugs but, the nice thing about these weapons systems is they are modular. POF is a bit spendy to, but there will be no disappointment, promise!

I guess I should Chime in since I do own a ACR.
Larue, Don't own any products from them execpt a bunch of dillos :) but thats changing here soon.
Like Hoser, I have a POF lower That I use on my 3gun Rifle, never played with a full POF gun but i found the lower to be highly effective for 3gun.
As for the ACR, I love it. It is possibly the funnest rifle I own and I do bring it out for one of the 3gun local matches. I've talked to John at JP when I was at RM3gun this year and he said that they could easily convert the barrel lock system to one of there middy's, so that is a option i might do once BM releases extra barrels, plus theres strong talk about BM releasing a 300AAC blackout barrel later this year, so I might have to jump on it. Now heres for the bad, It did have a recall late last year, all that was replaced with was a stiffer firing pin spring and a titanium firing pin. it was igniting federal primers that were hand loaded not to spec causing 3 to XX amount of burst. There not cheap, the only reason I jumped on one was I was able to get dealer cost through the use of Military ID, + insurance and shipping still cost me $2050. Aftermarket is kinda niche if you ask me, the basic handguard takes all MOE attachments and the folding buttstock is really nice and strong. I have a PWS brake on it and works great. Heavy with the heavy barrel on it, which I don't mind. I've probably only put 3k+ rounds on the rifle last year its probably closer to 4.5k with everyone else shooting it, which I had no problem with.
But if I were to make a choice today on the 3 you listed i would choose... LaRue, but I would wait a min before you go out and buy one (or you don't have too :) ) LaRue is coming out with a more 3gun oriented rifle version of there OBR called the OBR predator. Basicly the OBR lite with a 0 MOA base and a lighter 18inch middy barrel. Alot of people dont like middy's for recoil, but a good muzzle break will cure that, best part according to the rep at Shotshow the New OBR predator will MSRP for $1450-$1650.
Just my .02 cents..
