Gotta lot of buzzing on the low string and I generally want to upgrade the hardware.

What are the most solid manufacturers?

Have you setup/had your guitar properly setup?

A proper setup should mitigate that buzzing.

+1 with what you just paid for that Iron Label, you shouldn't need to replace any hardware to rectify buzzing. A proper set up should do the trick.

Just bought my iron label about a month ago and had the same buzzing issue. Proper setup and thicker strings did the trick.

I got my Iron Label 7 in August and it had really bad buzzing on the low strings. I got a local tech to give it a proper setup and much thicker strings as I have it tuned a step down. 12-66 on it now with no buzzing at all.

^This. I got my Iron Label 8 a few months ago and after a good set up and much heavier strings(11-80, tuned EAEADGBE) I have no buzz and it's absolutely awesome to play.

^^ you'll need the allen wrench for the saddles (what the strings rest on) and another for the truss rod adjustment. If you don't know how to do the set up, don't be afraid to try it out after reading up a little.

If you bought the guitar locally, they may have the tools for you, or you can buy them at the hardware store. Just bring the guitar and find the two wrenches.

I've had my Iron Label 8 setup from the get-go, and I've had zero issues. I use D'Addario .10 - .74 at drop E, and it's all groovy. Sound like it's time to look at your string gauge, and get your bridge/neck setup.
