what is your favorite upgrade or addition for your M&P15? Could be the thing that increased accuracy or speed the most, cosmetic upgrade, improved ergonomics/comfort or something like a simple trigger guard replacement you like.

Ammo, lots of ammo and magazines. No scope, no lasers, no flashlight, no need for that. Iron sights, cause If you can't shoot with them, what are you going to do when your fancy scope or red dot breaks?

I replaced both buttstocks on my ARs with beefed up Magpul stocks. These have added the most comfort and overall added benefit of any one item. Second to those is adding a sight (scope and red dot).
Eotech 512 - co-witnesses with my irons perfectly. Also replaced the Magpul front grip with an ATI folding grip. Easily removable as well since adding the small picatinny rail. Also added another picatinny on the RH front side of the Magpul forend for a laser if I want to run it. Lastly, a Spector CBQ 3-point sling which I like quite a bit.

The two accessories I have added to my S&W Sport that have noticeably improved performance are an AimPoint Pro Optic and MagPul CTR Stock. For looks I have also replaced the factory pistol grip and hand guard with matching MagPul MOE replacements. Recently I added a MagPul MS3 QD Sling and MSA MOE Sling Attachment, but am not entirely happy with the “feel” of this set up. I am now Mall Ninja compliant…
On my Sport, the best improvement was to free float the barrel, second was to polish the trigger and third was to install an "H" or "H2" buffer. I have made other cosmetic changes, some made the rifle more comfortable but these three things have done the most to make the rifle more accurate and follow up shots better.
I do not use my Sport in the basic "tactical" design. I use mine as a target/hunting rifle and thus have changed it that way.

I put a Magpul pistol grip on mine and an A2 stock. It sometimes wears a 4x scope. Pretty simple.

Best improvement was adding a Geissele Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced (SSA-E) Trigger...what a great improvement. http://geissele.com/supersemi-automaticenhancedssa-etrigger.aspx
Then would be my EOTech XPS-2, and a Stark
SE-2 AR-15 Sling Grip, Stark Equipment
Most recent addition was a Magpul hand guard:
HAND GUARDS ? AR15/M16 Type Rifles - MOE® Hand Guard, Carbine-Length ? AR15/M16

I guess I never really answered 
I think my favorite upgrade is my grip - magpul MOE+ grip. It's nothing fancy, but I really like that it doesn't have any finger grooves - those things NEVER fit my particular set of fingers. The magpul grip gives me good purchase that's comfortable and doesn't fail when dirty or wet.

My favorite is a Timney 4# trigger. Only other mods are a Magpul pistol grip and an ACS-L stock (I like the extra friction lock to remove any slop in the stock to tube fit).

I'm not quite done building my AR yet, but so far I think my favorite accessory is a heavily padded sling....
.
I think I see a barrel sticking out of there but I'm still not entirely convinced there is a gun in that pile of accessories

I think the best mod to any AR is a good trigger set. I have Timney's in my 3 rifles. (2-.223/1-.308)
