I prefer the A5 setup. Seems the gun moves less, and ejection is more consistent.

From Sprinco's website;
If you don't believe me, read it there for yourself."GREEN Spring" In addition to use in 5.56 Fixed Stock Rifles, our “GREEN Spring” is just the ticket for use in the VLTOR A-5 Stock System using their appropriate weight buffer for maximum versatility in tuning almost any upper configuration, running both with or without a "can". Color Coded GREEN.

So if you guys did it over again, would you pick an A5 system with the green sprinco spring or just a carbine length buffer tube with one of Slash's heavy buffers (or any heavy buffer)? Mid-length gas system I presume.
I would like to build a suppressed AR with a 16" barrel and mid-length gas system (using a Surefire SOCOM suppressor). The fact many have had issues with their set ups make me lean towards paying for the new Knights SR-15 with the Mod 2 gas system. Seems more optimized for suppressed use.
As an aside, my SCAR -17 runs suppressed quite well. Maybe the SCAR-16 would be a better platform, but I want both a SCAR 16 and AR set up to run a Surefire SOCOM can
Thanks
I've never experienced any issues with any of my rifles with the A5 system. I also haven't really read about any meaningful disadvantages to the A5 system, only advantages. I don't run my rifles nearly as hard as a lot of people on this forum, so take this just as a minor datapoint.
I run suppressors on all of my builds.
Relevant specs:
Build 1
Sionics 11.5" reduced gas port + A5H3 + LMT-E carrier + Sprinco Green
Build 2 (waiting on the stamp)
BCM 14.5" mid length + A5H2 + LMT-E carrier + standard rifle spring
Build 3
Aero Precision 16" Mid Length + A5H1 + LMT-E carrier + Sprinco Green
