I've got a brand new AFAB-MINI in its ziploc bag I ordered almost a year ago. It's going to replace a BC2.0 on my 10.5. Finally getting around to it, I decided to see if this comp is still a decent comp. Now I've just read all about the EFAB.
Anybody (BTJ) have any direct back to back comparing these two? I know FH will be better with the EFAB - is that it? How about muzzle rise/dip?

No personal experience with Precision Armament's muzzle devices, but here's a few tests done on them including video in the muzzle brake link along with brake effectiveness and flash suppression findings.

The EFAB reduces rearward recoil a little more and the blast is more mild (though the mini is a sweetheart as well). The mini has a little more muzzle compensation and the EFAB more neutral. If your BC pushes your muzzle down, go EFAB. If you are generally pleased with the muzzle rise compensation of the BC, the mini will be more to your liking. It certainly doesn't push the muzzle down as much as the BC, but it's a stronger effect.

Thanks for the links. I've been waffling on replacing a BC 2.0 and the new AFAB looks like it might be just what I want.

No problem, and for the sake of completeness, here's a link to his first muzzle device shootout as well:
