I'm not the op but I agree with most of what they said and by most I mean like 95%. So I'll try to answer a bit.

I'm a palmetto state armory fan. They make cheap guns that are reliable. We call it the people's shitty armory (PSA).

This is their AR 15. You can get the parts kit+upper and a lower for 450 and put it together yourself. You can get the complete rifle for <600.

556 is a military round. The round is designed to maim and will penetrate armor. You can also get further piercing rounds. 9mm will not have that capability. The effective range with 556 is much further as well.

The chief benefit of a PCC is that they can run the same ammo and magazines as your pistol so you only would need to carry one set of ammo/mags and all your firearms would be functional if you grabbed a mag out of your pack. The longer barrel means more spin on bullet and more energy on impact than a handgun and you'll be infinitely more accurate with a PCC than a pistol. I have a PCC and it's my favorite to shoot with. They have less recoil than 556 and a lot less concussive force coming out the front.

I would recommend getting practiced with pistols, however. The size and versatility compared to a rifle can't be under stated imo. Theoretically I can have a laptop bag with 6 pistols in it and theoretically have an instant lethal friend group. This cannot be done with rifles and rifles can't be concealed even if you're only carrying for yourself.
