I have heard that some of the M1A's of newer manufacture (which have a greater number of non-GI, third party parts) are more prone to malfunctions than older rifles, but I think you're still going to get an extremely high quality rifle that will exceed your own capabilities.
Whether you would be better served by an AR-10 pattern rifle is a question only you can answer, and may well depend on your desire to accessorize the rifle.
