Generally speaking, a longer barrel gives better functioning. Things like H and H2 buffers were developed to overcome problems with excessive gas pressure in short barrels. You should be fine with a 20" regardless of buffer.
The CF run collapsible stocks on their 20" guns. Its not a problem. In fact, an adjustable stock is a very smart idea. The fixed stock on the Ar platform is too long for most people.
