Not a big AR shooter myself, but I really preferred a lower with a short throw 45 deg safety. Lot crisper and quicker than a mil spec IMO

Edit: Plus, if you are not sure, consider looking at some enhancled LPKs like Strike Industries that offer the parts that'll do either 90 or 45. Not a huge deal to go back and forth and see what you'd like.

I’d rather be used to the 100’s of thousands of guns that are 90. Vs the boutique hundreds at 45/60 deg

No oops not enough
 
You clearly don't know what you're doing unless you have an ambi 45 degree safety and an X.3484 inch barrel length AR.

Meh... I don't usually bother with the safety because lets be real.. is the ALG trigger I put in my Mak 90 really drop safe anyways?

Still fires on "safe" and sometimes if I shake the gun hard enough so it's kind of like a "360 degree safety." (take that AR nerds) boy is it a crisp pull though

Don't underestimate the weeotinne
 
I wouldn’t switch from a 90 but when I was putting together my sbr I snagged a Strike Ind. 45. Admittedly, I do like it a lot especially on a rifle with a shorter length of pull.

I got the Geissele SSA-E, the selector I have is an ambitious and it can be installed 45 or 90. hence the question about the selector.

If you don't lose the detent spring, swapping the safety out is a couple minute task. Set it up as 45 and play with it it. If you don't like it, change it to standard 90.
