Resale Value

like the others said AI, but they usually cost more to start.
on the flip side if you are looking to buy any of those options new, buy the AI and you dont worry about resale..
 
^^^^ this.

As posted here it's damn near impossible to wear out an AI. And if you have a newer quick change barrel then you can swap out a worn barrel for a new one in a couple minutes.

Others depreciate as the barrel gets more rounds through it. So it's not just the initial depreciation that gets you.
