Mil spec ( ish) AR triggers. We all know them, we all love them. I am partial to Hiperfire EDT Designated Marskman, but there are other great ones that you don't need a second mortgage for ( I am looking at you Gieselle). Some of the cartridge drop ins are very nice. I like JMT in some of my range guns. I prefer mil spec for "Important" guns though.

One I discovered recently by accident is the PSA EPT. The ones I have break around 5 lbs, but they are smooth with almost no slop and a nice reset. I think they run about 30 beans.
 
ALG ACT trigger is the ones I’ve replaced my stock Mil-Spec triggers with. Not a long range, precision trigger, but feels the same every time. Stock triggers are where builders get cheap on you.

PSA makes good triggers as well. They have a great warranty on their stuff too.

I was going to mention that one as it often comes up in discussions about nice triggers that don't cost too much. I haven't tried one myself but many internet geniuses compare it to the EPT. The EPT really is a sleeper. I only discovered it when I bought a B5 SOPMOD lower build kit that came with it.
 
ALG ACT is in my Mock18 civi clone, and can't complain. Polish up a mil-spec trigger and it's essentially the same thing.

My favorite inexpensive 2 stage trigger is LaRue MBT-2S. Tried CMC but I don't like triggers that light.
