I've never abused any other AR type system (used, sure, but never under service conditions), so I can't really comment. I've got no real complaints with them.
It's still a 4 position stock, which to me is plenty. I don't see any need for the extra two. I collapse it when I'm not using it, extend all the way when I'm wearing a shirt, and to the #2 position when I have my frag vest on.
I would say 3/4 people in our battlegroup with pistols are using non-issued holsters, espescially the infanteers. General rule of thumb with weapons is accessories are ok, mods aren't, and you pretty much stick with the issued sight. We also issue the EoTech 552 (almost exclusively with the C8 carbine), and if you didn't get one generally its ok to buy your own.
