Which one is better?

One gun or multiple?  I do QD as I used them on several and it also helps to protect the threads from abuse of removal/replacement.

If you are going to put it on one gun and leave it on then go threaded.

I was gonna use it on a bolt gun and an ar. What about baffle strikes. Is one prone to them more than the other?

Only if the bore on your rifle isn't concentric.  Not that a mount can't be off but I have not seen it.

Understand the "QD" usually doesn't mean "QD."  It means "quick attach."  Once you've started shooting the suppressor for a while, it will be warm enough to make quickly removing it a less than painful experience without an asbestos mitten.  

That being said, on a semi-auto, I would almost always go with a locking attachment method - i.e. a QD.  

When firing a lot on semi, many thread on suppressors have a tendency to rotate free and need to be re-tightened every couple of rounds.  Granted, there are ways to mitigate this, but as others mentioned - why put the extra wear and tear on your threads when you can get a suppressor with a good, locking mount, that you don't need to do anything else to, and doesn't need to be periodically re-tightened?

Each have their own advantage... I have found no disadvantage to having either... I have a QD on my bolt gun so when I hunt game animals (ie: deer) I can remove it... I also have a QD for one of my AR's so my buddy can use it when we go hog hunting... I have a thread on for my SBR-AR that I never remove...
hope this helps...

If the barrels are threaded correctly baffle strikes won't be an issue on either rifle as long as the suppressor is tight.  The bolt rifle barrel may not "look" right with a QD mount but if that doesn't bother you I would go QD.

QD. It won't unthread.
