I'm looking for an AR LPK with a better trigger than the basic kits, without spending more than I have to. I would like to hear about other members experiences and suggestions with these kits. Thanks!

Buy a basic LPK and send the trigger parts to Bill Springfield.
$39 and two days later, you'll have a clean crisp 4# trigger.

My LMT lower has a great single-stage trigger. The Rock River 2-stage is also excellent.

I used a stag LPK, then clipped a couple of springs, lightly polished the contact areas, then ran a set screw up the grip screw hole, pushing up on the back of the trigger and removing the takeup and creep as per online directions. I now have a crisp 4lb-ish trigger that detonates all primers so far, and I spent about a dollar and some time on it. and if I ever do have to undo or replace parts, well, 5 bucks worth of springs a set screw removal and I'm back to stock.
would I take it into combat, no.
do I use my AR hard, no.
do I have more time than money, yes.

Stag is pretty decent for a stock trigger. A little creep but consistent and not too heavy.
Most of the drop in triggers are match quality and priced the same, $150 up. They deliver a match trigger, 2.5 to 4 pounds, usually no creep or grittiness, and the best "break like glass."
On a tactical AR you drag down the driveway, it's a waste of money. As described, the stock issue LPK can be cleaned up. It's a 6-8 pound pull because in hard use bumping against vehicles, doorways, drop and roll, combatives, etc, light triggers are a liability. Other team members are in close proximity, no matter how hard you train everyone gets muzzle swept by a buddy with a live round in the chamber, safety off, finger on a trigger.
At that point you remember your buddy dropped in the light hair trigger that morning . . .
As long as everyone remembers that race gun parts only work well on the confines of the range, nobody has problems. It's when these things start being misapplied where the disconnects occur. Dry street tires on 20" dub rims slapped on a SUV don't offroad well.
The pistol shooters have demonstrated this a long time ago, you can win matches with a 10 pound NY trigger on a Glock. It's the shooter, not the equipment.
