Brakes/Comps-Which is the end all, be all??

Lately, I'm seeing a slew of different brakes/comps come on the market. Is this just every company trying to get another product out or are we actually seeing some advances in performance here. I've tried my hand at a few different models of brakes/comps, but I'm still not satisfied. This new Lantac brake has my attention, same with an MB556k if I can find one. Currently I'm running a Dlask A6 brake that I find good, but not great.

What are your thoughts on top tier brakes/comps for rapid shot after shot accuracy as far as mitigating as much of the mechanical aspect of the rifle as possible. Obviously the majority of it is in the hands of the shooter so lets not turn this into a "well if you're an experienced shooter you don't need those doo dads." Lets stay on the track of part performance.

I have surefire brakes on all 4 of my ARs. They work great
 
So I ran my Lantac Dragon at the match on Sunday. I went out Saturday to confirm a zero in case it shifted an it did. I ended up about 2 inches higher at 50m. Ran it all day Sunday and from my old PWS FSC556 there was an improvement. It wasn't a huge dramatic improvement, but it was definitely noticeable. I was able to run the gun at my maximum speed an maintain all center hits throughout the entire 3 stages of carbine. It makes double taps on target effortless. It was a nice improvement. I don't know if it was worth switching the PWS for the Lantac, but if you don't have anything or just a flash hider, it would be my first choice with no questions. Easily on par or better than the surefire. Very comfortable for the shooter, maybe not so much for the RSO.

On a side note, I had my sear fail in my Geiselle on the last stage and started running unintentional double taps at 200m on half side IPSCs and pretty sure both were hits as called by the RSO. (Prone) Very smooth recoil impulse. Very fun with a broken sear!!. Gotta get that in to Milarm this week!!!!!

Just get the biggest, gnarliest, most offensive brake you can find and throw it on:

All kidding aside, I'm partial to the AR Stoner unit:

I don't compete, nor do I need to hide the flash for any particular tactical purposes, but I found that this unit answers to your requirements for rapid shot after shot accuracy. I'm not a particularly good shot, in fact, I downright suck, but what I found with this one is when looking through my optic, the red dot remains relatively close to the target compared to without:


Just remember to always give your neighbor in the lane next to you a heads up before blatting off rounds though. Most of the time, people just give me a funny look and say "it's a shooting range, if I was expecting quiet, I'll go to the library"

I've tried maybe 4-5 over the years, personally very happy with the JP (not the large open one, just the regular one that blends with the barrel)

but i've also heard great things about their open division comp

That's the one I use as well. The JP/Cooley. The Stag 3G factory brake was over-compensating.

I own a stag 3G and a Noveske Afghan. I had a JP/Cooley brake on the Noveske for a while before switching to the Surefire SFMB-556-1/2-28.
The Surefire beats the JP/Cooley brake hands down to the point that I didn't even install the JP/Cooley on the Stag 3G.
I am installing another Surefire SFMB-556-1/2-28 on my Stag as I write this.

I now need to find 2 SFMB-762-5/8-24 for my other rifles.
