I have a BA 10.3 on my pistol and it runs great. Accurate beyond what I can do with the irons I have on it at the moment and thats with cheap surplus ammo.

I have a BA 10.5" barrel on my SBR that is ran both suppressed and un-unsuppressed that I like a lot. I also had a BCM lightweight 11.5" that was also ran suppressed quite a bit and worked great.

BA and BCM barrels are very high quality so really your decision should be based around which length you want. 10.3/10.5 barrels have significantly less dwell time than an 11.5 and the 11.5 will give you a decent increase in velocity. I chose the to go woth a 10.5 because I wanted the most compact rig I could get while still having good reliability and didn't mind the FPS loss.

I have a BA 10.3 Hanson in .300 Blackout. It is a very nice barrel for the money. Has run great for me. I'm pretty sure BA makes barrels for Aero and several other mfg's. If you are shooting 5.56 I would say go with the slightly longer barrel, you will get a bit better powder burn that way.
