I've got a PTR, FAL, and M1A, but to be honest, I don't know how to answer your question. They are each unique weapons in their own right. That said, if I had to keep just one, it would hands down be the FAL. In fact, my FAL is by far my favorite rifle in my collection. You really can't go wrong with any of the choices you mentioned.
My favorite full-sized semi is my FN-49. Okay, so it's in 8x57 Mauser and not .308 but what a rifle! Dead on accurate, fairly easy recoil (for an 8x57) and reliable as hell.
I've never handled anything in .308 that I've liked more than an M1A. Though I've never had the chance to fire an FAL. But I love the feel and balance of the M1A as well as the Garand style sights.
While we're discussing it I'll also throw out the MAS 49/56 in .308. The caliber conversion from 7.5 French was done by Century and some are not reliable but if you get a good one they are awesome little rifles. Add to that they still run around 500 bucks and are not on "the list."

Yes, price details PLEASE!!! I've heard great things about the PTR's and would definitely be interested with a decent price break. What is the timeframe of this again? I think this might end up as a birthday gun...
(sorry UZI, 1911, or USP, you'll just have to wait...

Sorry this did die on the vine. I used vince up @ Gideon Gun Sales to get my PTR.
To answer your question about part kits...they are hard to come by. Adam @ HK parts doesnt have any. I've seen a few FMP kits pop up on funbroker, but looked to be poor quality.

Its too bad this group buy never got legs, but I did want to pass on I got a great deal from Vince @ Gideon Gun Sales on my 91F (just picked up today finally). $998 + $10 + Tax.
Also I dont know if I just got really, really lucky....but when I got home and took apart the rifle I almost sh*t a brick. What do I find but a new, old stock rheinmetall one piece forged bolt carrier inside the rifle. Manufacture date 08/63!!!

I'd go in for that. Looking for a Rock River or DPMS 308
