Since there's so many different variations, it gets very confusing.

What's a decent one that's isn't crazy expensive.
Would it be better to buy separate uppers and lowers or is there one that's a decent pre-built one already?

and why the heck are there so many names for it? LOL it makes it even more confusing for newbs.
S&W Sporter is about as far down the quality scale as I'd go on an AR15. Below that you have the Bushmasters, RRAs, etc.

You can get a Colt 6920 for about $950. I'd go that route for my first rifle. Learn to shoot it, maintain it, what works for your purposes.
