Top 5 AR15 upgrades/accessories

My AR is a Noveske upper on a CMMG lower with a basic mil spec trigger. It's main purpose is to be a defensive gun I can run hard in carbine courses but it can also be used for other roles if I so please (I change the optic to magnification and it will do a number on varmints). It came with a troy sight so no need to add BUIS

1. Sling: I like an MS2 on an ASAP mount: transitions to handgun, or other things that make it nice to be able to sling the weapon.

2. Optic: I'm partial to aimpoint T1s: I'm faster with a RDS plain and simple. The T1 has the attributes I look for in an optic and is very light.

3. free float rail: My Noveske is an accurate rifle and a free float tube helps to make the most of that and provides a place to mount the few other things I like on my gun

4. light: targets have to be identified and I can't see in the dark.

5. suppressor: Reduces noise, blast, and flash.

Others that I like:

BAD lever, AFG, upgraded grip, upgraded stock (I'm eying an UBR), gunfighter charging handle.

Things I don't like:

With a few notable exceptions after market triggers or trigger jobs. Again with a few exceptions these often crap out in carbine courses.
 
1. BUIS
2. Tac Latch
3. CAA extended stock saddle
4. ErgoGrip
5. FabArms magwell grip (on one of my AR)

and,

6. MagPul extended trigger guard (not so important here in Georgia)
 
1) 1/4 min match rear sight
2) low-profile railed gas block, JP aperture front sight and riser
3) Hogue grip
4) GI nylon web sling
5) Side cocking upper

1 - I shoot some competition, so the 1/4 min is nice. I'd hate to lose the ghost ring. I don't think red dots are much faster or easier than irons, and they add weight and cost.
2 - hate the front post. An aperture sight give me way more options, while still being 'irons' and easily removable if need be.
4 - cheap and light, mainly for carry, but easy to use as a shooting aid
5 - really intuative to use, but it does send brass over my right shoulder instead of forward.
