AR's is better. It requires less effort. Both guns feel ergonomically great to me though because I'm left-handed, so I don't feel the bad effects of the AK set-ups, and actually find them as natural-feeling as the AR. However, if there is one thing that I prefer about the AK, it will be the safety. With the AR, everything for me is in a different place or side of the gun. With the AK, the mag catch, charge handle, and safety are all like two inches apart. I like that. that can interfere with handling the gun because of how your hand can't be too far back while shooting lefty because the bolt or handle can clip you if you're not paying attention tp just how close your hand is, but whatever -- I don't bunch up my stance that much.
But, holding the gun right/normal-handed reveals the problems with the AK's ergos and set-ups. Your operating arms feels very limited that way. That is the real problem.
