I would take the KMR over the Geissele for 2 reasons. One would be the additional mounting surfaces with BCM's 7-sided keymod design. The other would be the slimmer outside diameter. That 1.5"-1.7" OD is just about a perfect fit for my hands. While the Geissele's inside diameter is 1.3"-ish, the OD is over 2". I'm also using keymod to reduce unnecessary weight and with direct attach keymod accessories starting to come out there won't be any need for additional pic rails.
IMHO, the strength issue with the KMR hasn't produced any negative effects (I can physically flex the 13" KMR about 1/8" in any direction when installed). It does heat up faster than any other handguard I've used, but I think that has to do with the material used and the thickness of the walls of the handguard. They're comparatively a little more than half as thick as others.
At the end of the day, the KAC URX 4 proved to be the best of both worlds based on my preferences. It gives you the same number of options in regards to mounting interfaces, extremely solid lock up and very high strength, integrated sling mounting options, relatively light (12.3 oz), 1.55" ID and OD is only 1.7", and I've never been able to feel any excessive heat through the URX 4. It's a little cheaper than the Geissele but comes out to about the same if you're needing picatinny rails.
