Overall I would have to vote for the VZ. You can also get an AR mag adapter to use cheaper mags and increase capacity.

Only if you are looking to scope the rifle the newest series Mini would win.

CSA in 5.56 all the way.
Save your cash, instead of buying an AR mag adapter, just buy a couple of extra mags.
Reliable and fairly accurate.
There are accessories available.
 
Although it may cause some gnashing of teeth and blood pressure spikes, for what you pay for the two your interested in, I'd seriously consider the BCL Coyote. As long as all the holes are in the right place and the right size this is far superior to the CZ, or Mini in my opinion. Assuming of course it's actually about to ship...or has it already.

^^^ Well it didn't take long for the gnashing of teeth to start...

And just to get your blood pressure to spike here's a video of a functioning one:

So ya, the Coyote does exist.

However I will say that the lack of evidence of a bunch of production rifles nearing completion does cast some doubt about availability at this time.
 
I'd go for the VZ, it is a proven design that was built as an improvement to the AK so it's a no brainer for me. Aftermarket options are plenty as well, especially on zahal.

I'm not trying to provoke you, but I have to ask you what you mean by that. "I'm not new", as in some kind of Chump? I ask because I remember all these tales about how terrible that they were after they got caught shilling here. They also had some really perplexing QC problems, perplexing in that they really shouldn't have happened in such great numbers, like the Bolts. Regardless the biggest problem with NEA/BCL is quite obviously all the problems that I heard from a friend, who heard it from a friend. That's not to suggest there weren't problems, but if you just listened to the haters you'd think there must be people missing eyes and every third Rifle melts when you look at it wrong. My experience with shooting, or looking over one in a shop is nothing like what I read on here. There was even a joker on here who would go on about how he saw one blow up, but by his own posts he didn't meet the guy untill months after the incident...which was not a Rifle Blowing up.

You can disagree, but a Receiver set that uses exclusively AR parts is going to be just as reliable, be far more accurate, and part supply is second to none. That BCL is going to assemble it for you with serviceable parts is a bonus.
