Yeah, bang-for-the-buck I would also go with Factory Five.
I personally got the HPMegabite SENIORS that I used for a while, now I am going with Griggs adjustable$$$ ones. (to be put on in the next couple-o-weeks.

I also ordered the Factory Five arms, and sold the uppers to a friend. (I run a torque arm too.) Took about three weeks for them to arrive, weld and paint quality was absolutely perfect, price is great.
