It would be an AR in .223/5.56. The flat top allows for a wide range of sighting/optics for different tasks, can be used to hunt medium game, small game, varmints and self defense. It's not great at everything but it will do most things really well and a couple things pretty mediocre-ly.
An AR10 would be a step up in terms of handling medium to large game but I'd still prefer a .223/556
