Magpul MIAD Enhanced Trigger Guard or Spike's Billet Trigger Guard?
Even if you're careful, it's easy to break a receiver tab when installing the trigger guard roll pin. The Little Crow Gunworks AR-15 Trigger Guard Roll Pin Pusher makes this task easy and worry-free.

Dave have you looked into the HiperFire Elite Trigger? Right now one of my favorites. 3 different springs as well to increase or decrease trigger pull.

Dave,
I'm not one of the salty dogs with hundreds of thousands of rounds downrange, but I suspect your list is impossible to satisfy. I suggest defining "the best" might require a more narrow list of criteria and a more complete definition of how you expect to use the carbine.
In most cases, getting a single stage trigger to 3-4 lbs requires reduced power springs, which reduces your combat-ready reliability by introducing the possibility of light primer strikes. Many might suggest that a 3 lb trigger is, by that very trait, not adequately safe or suitable in hard use or combat situations. So it seems to me that hitting all your points seems a pretty difficult feat.
If you gravitate more towards a real single stage, reliable trigger, I really, really like my ALG ACT trigger. It breaks at a higher pull weight than your 4 lb cutoff because it uses full power springs and a long-established trigger design, but is silky-smooth with a short, firm reset. I can't tell you what durability on the hardlubing might be, there's no way I have enough cycles on it to consider evaluating that. But so far, everyone who tried it has been impressed.
If you're wiling to sacrifice the real single stage design, but maintain a "single stage feel" and wiggle a little on that "combat-ready" criteria, one of the Geissele 3Gun triggers MAY satisfy your needs. At least on paper, it looks right up your alley. Both are short-throw, 3 lb triggers. I have not used either of these SSGs yet, so bear in mind that this this suggestion is based only on my overall positive experience with Geissele products and the literature from the "product flyer" link on their web site.
As to your point on the SSA and SSA-E, yes, both have a very distinct 2-stage feel. I like my SSA, except for the slightly long reset.
Regards.
D.

Any luck on finding a trigger group?
I keep hoping one on the mods will pop in, call me a clueless noob and rattle off 6 assemblies that meet all your criteria.........

You know Dave, I just noticed this post... a Roll Pin Pusher eh? Never seen one of those, it looks pretty slick!
I've probably put together 60-70 lowers and have never had any issue with ears breaking off, just have to make sure it's supported. One thing that does make roll pin installation much easier is I always use a couple of drops of oil on the pin and hole.

Yeah it's just one of those things that makes life a little easier, y'know? It's always a good idea to lubricate the roll pin regarless of method.
I broke an ear off when I was first learning years ago, so it's possible I have an irrational fear of doing it again

I followed the link of your new barrel (the one you posted in another thread), and immediately darted here to see if you had any new pics of your progress. Guess not yet.
