I have built a few AR15s and an AR10 from scratch. I looked at doing an AR15 in 6.8 spc but the cost to make it and mags and ammo are close to what an AR10 costs. Also if you do a CQB class with a 6.8 spc the cost of ammo would probably run around $800+ and I load my own. So I went with the AR10. A lot of parts are interchangible with an AR15 so I still have a problem with what they charge for the AR10 parts but I wanted one so I built it.
With the 6.8 spc I decided to have a barrel for a Thompson Contender made. 15" Shilen made by JD at SSK Industries. I shoot 135 Sierra GK with Benchmark and Fed primers and I get about a 2.5" group at 200 yds. It's a great PA deer hunting gun and the round appears to be well suited for white tail. As far as a combat round in an AR I couldn't say. Maybe Gene or Longrange have had more experience with it in an AR15 or mini 14.
