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?

Not significantly, as long as you aren’t buying ammo that’s remanufactured, or is some Russian brand (Wolf, Silver Bear, etc.)/Turkish, etc. A bigger issue is going to be the twist rate of your barrel and the weight of the bullet, but even that’s not going to be a big issue unless you’re trying to get your rifle down to 1 MOA accuracy.
