    I’ve not built any but my preference would not be polymer. Can’t give you a good reason why as I have no experience with poly AR15 lowers but just preference.

    Polymer lowers have been proven to
    break under force such as a simple drop.
    It’s not that polymer is bad but the weight of the components puts too much stress on the part.

    A WWSD 2020 monolithic polymer lower may obviate that issue, but they aren't 80%.

    I have poly upper and lower, but not 80% type. I've had it for 4 years and no issues with it! I haven't done any 80% at all, so no comment about those.
