I'm building a 9mm upper. I want to go with a 8.5" (+/-) barrel and I'd like to keep the "street price" under $130. I've found a few choices but don't know which has the best track record for quality and accuracy.

I have the BA 8.3" barrel. It is the only one I have owned and I have only put about 90 rounds through it, but no issues with feeding and accuracy at 25m was excellent.

I haven't had any issues with my Kaw Valley/Faxon.  I've never shot it from a rest to test accuracy though.

You can get an 8.5" for $110 shipped from joebobs

Faxon had 9mm bbls on sale for $99 IIRC not too long ago.

Very pleased with my Faxon in that price range. I have their 8.5 and 10.5.

I bought the KAK Value line 9mm 8.0" Melonite Barrel direct from KAK, $98.00 shipped, Once mounted in the upper it comes out to 7.5", I've run about 300 rounds- 115/124/and 147gr no problems, runs like the well oiled machine it is.
