I found this article from April 2022 that ranks AR-15 brands into different tiers. I know it is just one gun rag writer's opinion but I found it interesting and informative.
After reading through it quickly one time, I didn't find much that I would disagree with but I'm far from an expert on the subject. What do you guys think?

There are specific reasons why I’ve ranked some of these companies where they are and those reasons might go against conventual wisdom and they absolutely go against what that guy at the local gun store told you or what your buddy’s best friend who did a tour in Afghanistan back in 2006 told you.
Price is also ignored in these lists and more importantly, value is ignored.
A Knights Armament SR-15 runs about $2,700 and is objectively one of the finest pieces of mechanical engineering ever made. The SR-15 is the embodiment of what S-Tier should be.
But… if you’re a normal person doing normal person things, you get a whole lot more value out of a $1,200 Aero Precision rifle or even a $600 Palmetto State Armory rifle.
Unless you’re storming beaches, the S-Tier is for flexing on poors.
The vast majority of us are C- and B-list people at heart. If that’s where you’re at in the AR-15 brand ranking, that’s a good place to be.
