Bolt gun is rock solid no need to worry about cycling issues or feed/extract/eject issues. It is also quieter, due to far fewer moving parts at trigger pull.
That said, ARs are fun as hell, can fire much faster than a bolt gun, and are much more configurable than a bolt gun.
If the barrel is to be 16", you do not need any special stamp for the gun. If you plan to buy a suppressor, you will need an ATFE stamp for the can. It can be moved from gun to gun, but always keep a copy of the ATFE paperwork - with stamp - on you when you have the can.
I started in the 300 game with a bolt gun, decided to go AR, now I wish I hadn't sold the bolt gun. ARs are fun and very user-configurable, but they can be a pain to get set up and running smoothly, depending on the ammo and the shooter's knowledge and commitment to the platform.
I'm not sure I would recommend building an AR for your first foray into 300. Buy a bolt gun or a set up AR and see if it is really what you want. Once you know what you want to do with it, get what you want.
300s are fun, and infinitely more so when suppressed.
