JG would be the best bet, as long as it was the newest generation version 2 JG 416. Echo1 is simply rebranded JG so thats always an option as well as long as the model rebranded is the second generation version.

AGM and CA sportline fall a little farther down the quality ladder this time for numerous reasons. AGM being poor tolerance, grease filled pieces of garbage and Sport line being low quality, cheap material pieces of garbage.

The second generation JG 416 has a considerable amount of improvements. Its a full metal unit right out of the box so no upgrade required. It has a factory installed mosfet. The tolerances on the RIS have been modified and updated so that the front end should no longer have any play or wobble. Metal bushings are now preinstalled unlike the first generation. The two piece hopup design has been replaced with a one piece unit. The only thing that a person really needs to do is replace the hopup rubber and nubbin and they are good to go. A possible down grade maybe required to adhere to local field FPS limits but those vary from place to place.
