I think from what I can remember from similar questions, the M1A will be more reliable, but the AR 10 style rifles are more accurate, more ergonomic a lot easier to mount a scope, lots more accessories on the market which are easier to attach and a heck of a lot cheaper.
Some one will probably yell at me for saying the M1A is less accurate but the other reasons are certainly true.
I'd personally go for the DPMS from that list you gave but Rock River Arms make a 308 AR style rifle which is worth looking into.

Those other guns Jimin Texas are also fine rifles but I think they are more battle rifles any wont be as accurate as ones your think about.

Also theres bound to be plenty of people that say a bolt action will be cheaper and more accurate, so I may as well say savage make a nice rifle
