Let them set up by the guy shooting a 50 with a tank brake on it. They'll come running back to you.

Completely false.
Precision Armament EFAB or AFAB 556. Both are substantially more pleasant to be around than BC, provide more recoil reduction, don't cause muzzle dip, and have virtually ZERO flash.
I've run my EFAB extensively next to multiple BC equipped guns outdoors and indoors. No comparison.
I would tend to agree with BufordT on this as a general concept. All muzzles have different attributes. Be it bare, different flash hiders, brakes, comps, moderators, suppressors, etc. Their performance can change with different loadings.
Finding a general rule balance between all that suits most all users is pointless, there's too many variables.
If a person is looking into the best muzzle or device that fits their role best, a list of priorities could be in order, with how much emphasis could be toward each to get there.
There can be many choices depending on many variables. For myself, I have different priorities than others. I tend to look at combinations that I may suppress for most, but not all. Another may not have suppression on the table at all. Does that automatically take a possible suppressor mount off the table? The answer for that is, no, but they seem to for those that wouldn't suppress for no good reason.
From what I've seen, the Battlecomp 2.0 may serve some the best. The reality is that there are many options out there.
Get a suppressor. It does everything.
Unfortunately, not everyone has that option. When they do, there's different attributes to different cans in general.
How do you compare cans? db reduction? Cyclic rate increase? Quantity of blowback? Weight? Length? Accuracy/ precision? etc?
How can those fit in a balance?
Though I have a Saker 7.62 in jail right now, I've seen several cans with more muzzle flash than the EFAB, with the same ammo and same barrel length (16"). A Gemtech, a Surefire, and an AAC to name 3. I shot the Gemtech and AAC at a night shoot using xm193 with the EFAB. Both had noticeable flash for the first few rounds of reach string of fire, while the EFAB had none.
I do agree with your general sentiment, though.
Then, it's possible that "flash" may be a more important attribute than others. As it's suggested so. Remember that many that many things may, or may not have the desired attributes torwards the better balance of addressing issues to do so to better fit an "end user" for their use.
What is important and why? That's a good question.
I would suggest a Griffin Armament Flash Comp.
Wow, I'm not sure what to say besides "no" on that.
Go with an A2 or a BE Meyers if you need better flash suppression than the A2.
