I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations as far as a manufacturer with a great reputation. Ive been looking and researching but have not been swayed one way or another.
All the feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I've done many of both, no real difference in finishing them. I agree on the 5d tactical jig, it's amazing. I had a Modulus arms, which was good, but the mill rode on the inner surface of the guide plate. Their new ones looks even better than the original. I did the reviewer program to get 50% my next order and used it to convert my original to also do AR-10 and grabbed a billet AR-10 lower.

It is, and I was down right impressed with the finish it left. I have a little bit of machining experience and can at least recognize a good finish when I see it, if not reproduce it reliably. The finish that came out of the 5D jig was amazing. You couldn't detect the different depth passes the way you could with my old modulus.
I don't have the newest updated version with vac port and the direct fit end mill...I'd like it but the original works so well I can't imagine much room for improvement. The big benefit is those huge side plates, but I got the upgraded steel sides anyways so that is a non-point for me.
Here's the link to my review video:

Not for everybody. It's a bit expensive, but the machining is second to none. This billit lower is a juggurnaut tactical AR-10 lower
And now it does AR-15, AR-10, Glock, 1911, and soon 10/22
