I really recommend against this as the chances you are happy with an 18 ounce 8" long silencer in an AR are fairly slim.
That said, I like Surefire products for their reduced POI shift.

Admitting the Saker is somewhat of a compromise, still, speaking only of the AR platform and if you want short, very lightweight AND good sound attenuation, what are your options besides a Wilson Whisper and an 18 month wait?
Thunder Beast makes a very light and very short model, but in their own literature, it says you lose 10db to the bigger cans. If I lose that much sound attenuation, and am having to wear hearing protection on anything supersonic, I’d rather just go with a heavy can and have great suppression, or go with no can at all, thus no weight or length at all on the end of my rifle. But as everyone says, JMO and YMMV.
