It seems like the shooter's preferred technique would affect the choice.
Before getting an AR, My only longgun training was with the shotgun. I wasn't real convinced that an adjustable stock was something I needed but the rifle I selected had one.
A short carbine training course made me see the advantage of an adjustable stock. The instructor taught a technique that was different from what I learned for shotgun. When I shoot the AR, my shoulders are square to the target, my face is forward on the stock, and the stock mounts closer to my centerline. In order to do this, I have to collapse the stock down to be pretty short. I don't think a regular rifle stock would work.
