I would personally avoid the Ares/HK versions if you can, unless you're more inclined to like the electronic trigger system and whatnot. I prefer the more manual stuff so I'd say go for the G&G, CA, or VFC versions. From what I've looked at they seem to be the best externally at least.
I have a Jing Gong G36C myself at the moment, a lot of people say they're durable enough for the price, but a word of warning, the gearbox components inside look pretty flimsy overall. It's a fine option if you can get it cheap and are willing to swap out the internals, but if you want a G36 platform that will stand the test of time better, spending the money on the G&G, CA, and VFC versions is more worth it. If you're looking to make the G36 your main workhorse I would go that route, if you want one just to use once in a while the Jing Gong isn't a bad gun to fit that purpose.
