Here is a list of parts most likely to break that you should keep on hand.
Extractor spring insert, Extractor spring, Cam pin, Trigger Spring, Firing pin, 2 Firing pin retaining pins, Safety detent, Extractor pin, Detent Spring, 3 Gas Rings, Disconnector, Hammer Spring. These should go wherever your rifle goes.
You can buy field repair kits for about $31.00

These spare parts should make sure that you are not out of the fight for long if something minor should break.
I also like to have a spare bolt on hand.
Of course the very best spare is another complete rifle, however, although I own several AR15's, I also have spare parts on hand as well... Just in case.

You're right: it seems that simply carrying a spare bolt may be the quickest way of getting your rifle back in working condition.
The bolt would be the easiest, but it is also the costliest as most quality BCG's come in around 100 bucks or more. Just depends on how much cash you have to spare.
