M1 garand. Nuff said.
Not sure if you questions were all being address. I will give it a try.
If your just looking for a Garand to shoot and enjoy a little bit of history, then go with the HRA, now. What will you gain by waiting? I have SA's and HRA's from CMP and they all shoot and look great. What is a big plus ordering from CMP is they have great customer service and the gun has been gone through.
My experience is not as great as some others but have found field grades ordered online can be a hit or miss on quality but my SG's have all been very good quality with low muzzle and throat measures.
Finally, yes the $100 extra to get a SG is worth it. My SG special is nice, also, but not that much better than my SG's.
Just my humble opinion.
I think I'll go ahead and order one (actually, since I am a student in Atlanta I may as well just drive the 1.5 hours to their store in AL and pick one out myself!) and put the pistol idea on hold.
12 Garands is just the start of a good collection.WOW,cyclopsshooter! 12 Garands?!
Just how many lawns do you have to kick people off of?

You can request GI wood but most SG's come with new birch. I have not heard of many new walnut stocks on SG's like Fishbed received. Specials, yes, but not SG's. I have only had one request for GI wood filled. I just depend on what they have at the time. I am sure many will try to get good GI wood.If one were to order one, would it be better to request a Walnut stock, or would birch or beech be fine?

I would be willing to swap you a beautiful orange birch stock for that ugly walnut thing you got.Apparently, it was fairly common for SG rifles to come with new CMP walnut over the summer of 2012. There were quite a few posted at the CMP forums. Not sure about now, though.
I did transform one birch stock.if i'd known they had started putting the orange birch stocks on the service grades, then i would've spent the extra money for a special.

Agreed, better but not walnut.That's a little better
So that's a new production stock, correct?Regular Service Grades have been shipping with commercial Walnut lately
