Cant comment much on the others, but I've got a fully upgraded VSR-10, and also an maruzen APS2 L96. Both my rifles have basically all 3rd party replaced internals.
I find the L96 has awesome reach even with a lower fps than my VSR. It sort of floats the bb's to the target which is sometimes annoying as it takes a few seconds to get to the target, which makes hitting moving targets that much harder. But it does in a precise manner (depending on the wind) I find the deviation between shots far closer than my VSR. There are however a few quarks with the L96 in that some screws tend to get loose after a couple dozen shots and the cylinder starts to hit the side more than normal or create more friction when chambering the next round when shot which is never good. Also once in a while (like every 45 rounds or so, a bb will get jammed between the loading nozzel and the chamber block which is annoying especially while in the midst of combat. Easily fixable by ejecting the mag shaking and reinserting, but still quarky. The ease of maintaining the L96 is great however, you can take out the cylinder without messing with the barrel and other parts. It looks and feels damn nice. Just a bit awkward to hold. Trigger pull is extremely light, perhaps too light. The thing is a bit on the long and bulky side which makes it a little difficult to run around with. Better suited for longer range more stable targets.
The VSR on the other hand isn't quite as precise, but damn it's the most reliable BA i've played around with. Don't get me wrong, it still reliable outranges AEGs, but at longer distances (200+ ft) it drifts. Gamed with it on most of my outdoor games, prolly more than a dozen with it so far, it's never had a missfeed, solid as a rock, quiet. ADJUSTABLE hop up is wonderful if you need to change weights or compensate for range. This thing is a workhorse, and unparalled in reliability, it just works the way you would expect (safety works too unlike many others). Trigger pull is a good balance, short pull. There's little substitute for a gun that just works, and you never have to worry about it kinking up on you in the midst of combat. Great for FR type games where you need precise shooting, but also need the manuverability rather than concealment, pretty good for taking quick accurate shots as marksman.
