Bottom metal advice?

they are all good, comes down to what design you like and what style of mag release you want. I like the paddle style like the Badger. Ive never had a problem with the release getting hung up on anything and a mag coming out
I prefer Badger because it works great for me, had Seekins and did not like the button release.

I'm having a custom .338LM built by SAC/Mark Gordon. He's using Black Ops for the bottom metal. Don't know if it's available for your model though.
I have no idea what the pros and cons if different brands are, haven't upgraded to DBM myself, but in case you didn't know Hooper had a special running for I think $179, maybe the thread is still up since the new software update. I think it was in options & accessories for sale
If it were me, I'd save some money and buy a PTG Stealth DBM. Fit's in a Badger Inlet so having a stock with some crazy inletting isn't a problem if you decided to sell it, plus, it might still be $79, not sure if the sale is still on. In all honesty, you hardly even see bottom metal, so spending $250 for it seems awfully ??? to me.
I just checked out the PTG ones, not quite that cheap but they are selling for $129.99. I think the OP is using a SA receiver, but one thing I liked about the Hooper model was for LA with BDL inlet it's a drop-in
Here is another very reasonably priced option.

I'm a fan of my Surgeon DBM. However, I picked up some PTG DBM that was on sale. It was hard to pass that deal up. It all comes down to your preference.
I've heard a lot of people are having to do some serious trimming to get the Atlasworkx DBM to function properly, which I'm not interested in.
My preference would be the Badger DBM, they have a military discount, and I really like that, plus they have great customer service.
In the end, $79 was hard to pass up for the PTG, and it's almost identical to the Badger, minus the small magazine guide that sticks down...similar to the Surgeon.

I've used Badgers & APA's and love them both. The sleekness of APA's mag release and quality are my new favorite
