If you're going to use it for something like 3 gun, competitive plate shooting, and long range target shooting, go with the AR 15. If you're worried about the collapse of civilization and the rise of anarchy, you should consider an AK 47. Thinking down the road, in a post apacolyotic world it is likely that gun cleaning and materials for firearm maintenance will be scarce and likely to be controlled by the local warlord or feudal authority. The AK 47 will really shine in that environment as you could clean it with sand, mud or raw sewage and it would still fire every time you pull the trigger.
An Israeli Galil would be a good option as well, but parts would be more scarce.
