I've been looking for these two items since July of last year:

Ballistic Advantage Hanson 11.3 Performance barrel in 556/223, and
Ballistic Advantage Hanson 18 SPR fluted barrel in 223 Wylde.

I was told back then that an order was placed and was expected in the Fall of 2019. In October 2019, I was told that the order has been placed but that Aero/BA was in the process of renewing their export permit with the State Department. In December 2019, I was told that shipment was imminent. I'm still waiting. I'm kind of tired of waiting. Today, I contacted Aero/BA to find out about an ETA. Here's what I got from them:

"Thank you for reaching out to us. I hope this message finds you well. Unfortunately, I am not able to answer that question. I can say, right now Saskatoon is the only distributor we have in Canada and I don't know if that will change."

So my question for CGN is, in the event that I can't get what I want, which other barrel manufacturers should I be looking at for something comparable to what's listed above?

They do indeed at the 18" that I want. Thanks!

I'll keep looking for the 11.3". If I can't find it anywhere soon, I'll see if they can import it.
 
Red deer shooting center stocks ballistic advantage products, and has been able to get ones they don’t stock with relative ease.
I wanted a 20” 308 BA barrel for my stag10, sask gun works seems to have given up on most things as I have yet to see them restock anything and this was over a year ago. Get in touch with Kurt at red deer shooting center and I would be a crisp 100 dollar bill that they can get you what you seek, in a relatively quick time frame. I think my order took 6 weeks from order to pick up.
 
I hadn't thought of RDSC. I've made a few purchases there. Darn. I found what I need from SGW and AA. Thanks.
