Do you intend to actually use them. Or they a fashion accessory?
If its primarily a fashion accessory, how's $11.30 for front and rear . . . shipped??
Magpul MBUS Gen 2 Front + Rear Flip-Up Sights Set - Black - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
Don't laugh. I have them on my .22 AR. They actually work fine.
If you want a real sight, I'm fond of the ARMS.

MagPul... They even tested out better when being dropped. It was in a thread not that long ago (test results).

How can you give an answer if you don't know how he's going to use them.
Also, he said best for the money, not best. If he's not going to Afghanistan, I doubt Troy is best for the money.

I like Troy or MI. Troy probably the most.
I plan to use them, i enjoy the challenge of using irons and do want them for utility. I use my gun for target, varminting, and its my primary defense gun. If my optic ever goes down (aimpoint pro) then I must have a back up just in case.

You can't go wrong with Troys if you want flip up sights. They regularly run 20% off deals, so wait for that. I have them on both of my 5.56 rifles and like them a lot. If you really want to use the iron sights as a primary sighting device though, consider the LaRue or Daniel Defense fixed iron sights.

That's because the $90 ones were designed for actual real rifles. 
The ones at dealextreme aren't even the official PTS magpul airsoft units. For all I know they would work just fine, but I'm not going to assume that. I have read that even Magpul PTS sights have failed on real rifles since it is hard to tell them apart and some people don't realize that magpul has airsoft stuff. I wouldn't use these chinese knock off's on a rifle I may have to rely on.

The last 2 sets I bought from BCM were like $90 a piece.
