New here, so I'm late to the party. I'll echo what others have said about who spins up the barrel is just as important, if not more, than the pedigree of the barrel itself.
I've had a several uppers done by Mike Milli of Dedicated Technolgies. He uses Shilen blanks and all I've received have been excellent shooters. My latest build I had him do a 20" medium contour straight flute in 6 ARC. I sent him my bolt for head spacing and upper receiver to square up. About a 6 month wait, but I knew what I was getting in return and was not disappointed.
Like another said, I've also had good luck with Ballistic Advantage, although I only have a test sample of one.
