Your choice of an AR is pretty much a matter of shopping around and with a $1,000 price point there is no shortage of really fine rifles. I think most people will suggest whatever they have and personally like. There will also be the buy verse build discussion. Some people, including myself gravitate to the older Colt guns including the retro types or even a new / old retro type. 
Then there is the discussion of buy new or find a gently used which suits you. With the AR pistol types aside you are still having to consider the barrel length. I also like the older Colt Match H BAR variations. Something else you may or may not wish to consider is the barrel twist rate. Heavier bullets like the faster 1:7 or 1:8 twist. For example you start getting to around the 70 to 80- grain bullets you really want a 1:7 or 1:8 twist, with 69 grain bullets any 1:7 to 1:10 twist will do fine. Also depends on if you plan to load for it or just buy factory stuff including bulk factory stuff.
Anyway, for your price point there is no shortage of really nice rifles out there, just a matter of what you want the rifle to do and how accurately you want it to do it. Roll your own is another option but make sure you use pieces and parts which will mate well and cycle well.
