What's a good AR-15 lower parts kit for under $150?

I am new to the AR scene and am building my first one currently. All I have right now is a stripped lower. I know I need a lower parts kit and a friend suggested the enhanced kit from Spikes Tactical, which has been out of stock for weeks. The gun will most likely be used for varmint/target shooting if that makes a difference. Could someone with experience with a few of these kits give me a suggestion?

Spikes Tactical makes great stuff.

If the rifle is going to be used for varmint hunting, I suggest you invest in a good trigger. The stock AR trigger is pretty heavy and tends to have a lot of creep.

Here is a great Daniel Defense LPK with a standard trigger:

Here is a LPK from palmettostatearmory that comes with a Geissele Super Semi Auto Trigger ( I personally have this trigger in one of my carbines and I love it). The trigger by itself usaully runs around $170, so this is a really good deal if you can swing $50 more.

Here is a LPK without a fire control group, this way you can buy whatever trigger you want.

Here is a Rock River Arms LPK that comes with their 2-stage trigger (pretty good trigger for the money)

If you want a RRA two Stage trigger by itself, here is a great place to get one (they also have the LPK with the 2-stage as a package deal):
