I am a huge fan of Magpul Pmags so since they started making .308 Pmags that work with the KAC SR25/DPMS type rifles that is my choice. Pmags are cheap, plentiful, they work, and you can afford to buy them. They don't dent, warp, rust, pop apart at welds, and there aren't cheap nonfunctional versions you have to worry about staying away from. I also wouldn't worry so much about the chrome lined barrel. Unless you are looking to blast away with a pile of corrosive primed milsurp it isn't that big a deal. Chrome lined barrels just aren't as accurate since the plating adds a layer to the bore. If rust is your issue them buy some Eezox or similar and swab the bore for storage. Armalite makes a pretty good rifle but it's my understanding they are very parts specific to their own brand. The SR-25 platform isn't universal parts but it's more common to a few brands. The NEW Bushmasters, Remingtons, KAC, DPMS, and I think LMT share more parts in common than not. I'm sure there are more to that list. As for the Armalite type (M14 mag use) rifles Rock River Arms is the only one that is close (that I know of) but they also have this to say:
