Thank you all for the information. As it stands now, I'm going with the FH on the SBR. Including it's length I should have about 9.5" before it hits the first baffle. Hopefully that will be enough. From what I hear SinlencerCo's warranty is first class so if it messed up, they should take care of it.
JRC
I called SiCo asking them if they recommended a brake as a sacrificial baffle and they said a FH was fine for a SBR because of the Stellite, so I'm using FH's on my 11.5 and 12.5 SBRs.
I also have a Specwar K and an Omega, and even with the flat end cap, the Specwar K seems a decent bit shorter/smaller in diameter.
The Specwar K is on top.

Personally on the 300 B/O I would go direct thread... once you fired it with a silencer it may never leave that rifle again. Especially running subs !
Not a wise idea unless you clean up afterward and reattach later once in a humidity controlled safe. One of the parts of the chemical reaction of the powder burning when the round goes off is moisture, it will erode and pit the last few inches of your rifling in the barrel overtime. If you're done shooting remove the can, quick swab clean and put the can and the rifle away in the safe unattached.
I have a 12.5 which wears the FH, a 9" 300BLK which wears the break and once my 6.5 Creedmoor is finished it will either have a break or be direct thread.
"Buy once, cry once. Or not. Many of you will undoubtedly be zombies one day. I'd prefer if you were zombies with sub-par gear."
I'm building an 11.5 now and I'm thinking about going with the Griffin Armament M4SDII linear compensator.

I haven't seen too many reviews but the ones I have seen are positive. It has sacrificial blast baffles and works with their qd suppressors.
I also like that it should redirect the blast from the short barrel which should make shooting more enjoyable until I have the can.
Anybody have any experience with this one?

I have an Omega and I used brakes on my SCAR, 556 SBR and just used a flash hider on my 300blk.
By the time leaving a suppressor on a barrel after shooting caused a chemical reaction that pits a barrel due to moisture, suppressors will be irrelevant because we will all be shooting 40 megawatt phasers.......
What do you think happens when you take your rifle outside of your air conditioned house into the heat where it's 30 degrees temperature difference?
Go with whatever you prefer, flash hider or brake. Don't hold your breath for the photo thread where someone states they shot the baffles out of a can on an SBR because they used a FH instead of a brake.
