I'm looking into getting an AR-15, this would be my first firearm. I'm wondering if I should be worrying about what brand of ammo I choose to purchase, will it affect how quickly the barrel becomes dirty etc?

This is good advice.

ammoseek.com lets you search for low cost ammo. Just pay attention to whether the price is for new, reman, or reloaded ammo. Best to stick with new.

Walmart for 22lr, but center-fire definitely do bulk online

Or get a Dillon XL 750, a few pounds of Accurate 2230, and load your own while listening to The Tiger Bloc Podcast.
