Ok so my lower has been delivered and my completed upper is on the way and I should get it tomorrow. Now I am looking at sights. I do want to get an optics system but also want some "iron sights"as well. What sights do you all recommend?
My upper comes with the F-Marked front sight post. So I am not sure what rear sight to get. I'll probably use the iron sights for a while until I get a trijicon optic.

With a magnified ACOG I would go (and have gone) with the Troy folder. It's out of your way but can be ready quickly. And the recessed windage adjustment means it's less likely to get out of zero.
I just got done with an18" build, complete BCM upper purchased to simplify things. I have several scoped AR's and am content to just have irons on this for now.
I went with the Troy 'Dioptic' I think it's called. This one has the diamond shaped hole with a standard post in front. I saved a few $$ off fleabay and these ones don't fold down.
If you are going with an optic or red dot eventually, than you will want a foldable back up sight, commonly called a BUIS.
Magpul polymer is pretty low class. Yes they work, but I don't care for them. Magpul has two metal rear sights that are pretty darn nice (the MBUS Pro and MBUS Pro LR). The Troy micro's are my favorite folding sight.
