Side charging upper
#4
Mega only handles the receiver. You'd have to get either the purpose built but expensive as hell Young carrier, or a cheap and more common modified post production. I have the Mega +YM carrier, it's ridiculously easy to clean even just being chrome. I love how you can keep a traditional CH as well. I have the Rainier Raptor on it to aid with scoped bench shooting, as well as peace of mind from having a backup plan. I'd like to try a left-side charging one at some point, but with a "tactical" CH it's almost a moot point. I also usually charge the gun bringing it to a target standing/in a field, not on a table; it's more comfortable for me personally with a right-side charging handle.

Quality Arms makes awesome product, however, I'm not at all a fan of how their receivers have slots cut in both sides - regardless of being ambi or not. They say not having the CH slot cut out is a bonus, that's up to you to decide.

If you're bench shooting primarily though, and are right handed, you'd probably like the left-side ones better. I bought the billet lower with JBO's rollmark (the Spartan 15 or something), and it was actually really nice. Especially for half the price of most. I'd actually consider the side charge upper they have now (same as Gibbz and a few other different marks) based on that, plus you can use any carrier (saaaaay a PF phalanx/supermatch). Or if you got mad money to drop, JP's side charging upper. If you're a lefty, though, go for the QA for proper ejection.
