When you say "military style" that's sort of meaningless as far as quality/function/anything. You could say "mil-spec" which has more meaning. Most of the ARs we see here aren't made to mil-spec. Doesn't necessarily mean they're not functional. Mil-spec isn't "the best spec" but it is at least specifications which are solid and reliable, and not "whatever random shit olympic arms puts out this week"
Good brand is a can of worms, just google "<x brand> problems" before buying anything. People love to say that a lot of the parts come from the same basic manufacturers which is true at some level but there are varying levels of QC in assembly as well as value and level of features.
