I have the Magpul Pro flip up sights only on my home defense AR. No other optic. They fold down into a much lower profile than the plastic Magpul sights. They are made of metal and although I don't bang the gun around, they have held up fine over the few years I've had them. They have held zero since the first time I adjusted them.
I have Magpuls MBUS on mine on the 45°. I like them.
I want to upgrade to the Pros when I have the cash.

Hey BG, I thought you'd be offline having fun. How's vacation? Clearly you're alive and not in prison (yet).

I like the GI sights. Fixed FSB and detatchable carry handle. I also think the mbuis are good, but the effect of the round ghost ring in the square flip up looks off to me. The whole flip up should be semicircular on the top to match the peep.

One of my Black Friday purchases was a set of Diamondhead sights - http://www.primaryarms.com/diamondhead-polymer-diamond-integrated-sighting-system-w-nitebrite-1499
They were $40 for Black Friday (polymer; a week before the metal set was $100). I haven't installed them yet but liked the look of them (they were always too expensive in the past).
You're probably wanting solid/fixed sights though.

For fixed sights the ones @freddy posted are the best on the market.

Troy makes some nice fixed sights. Have a set on my KSG.

I've had these bookmarked for a while, a bit expensive though - Scalarworks Peak Sights - Fixed iron sights for AR15 rifles.

I have the DD A1.5 pictured above. Very well done and rugged. The only thing that got me was the aperture. There is a POI change when switching from the large to small aperture, (large 200yd zero, small 300yd zero). I believe the troy sight does not work that way and will maintain the same poi.
Really? By design? Its common for irons on old military rifles to have different zeros for different apertures or notches but I'm not sure I like that in a civilian arm.
