I have shot both the AK and AR platforms in competition. The AR triggers can be made much better by dropping a Timney in the lower. The AK trigger will always be a two-stage, I think. Its easy to mount optics on the AR. The AK is reliable and shoots reasonably well out to about 300 yards. The AR can double that distance.
I have both the .308 AP4 and the 5.56 carbine, both by DPMS. They have been reliable and accurate weapons. If all hell breaks loose, the .308 is the one that sits in the gun safe with the light and Eotech, with a bunch of loaded magazines. The AR is used for 3 Gun and does that game well. It is fun to shoot but carries half the power of the .308. That is one benefit the AK has over the AR; better energy downrange than a .22.
My $0.02.
