I also think just slapping the heaviest buffer possible is a bad choice. You're trying to balance buffer/spring with the gas system. Everytime you add weight to the reciprocating mass you are changing a few things. You may reduce the felt recoil on the rearward stroke, but now you have a lot of mass going forward, which is also a componet of the recoil you feel. I've tested it with the A5, and I plan on running a few different carbine buffers and see how it all comes out.
With how soft my 16" intermediate shoots, I'm actually thinking of trying an AR15 bolt carrier, as opposed to the FA M16 one in there now.
I would suggest buying more than one buffer and trying them out in your rifle, to see how it actually feels, and not depend on Internet advice w/o ever having felt the effects for yourself.
G&R tactical has CMT buffers for very good prices. They are stamped correctly, unlike the RRA I came across at a local gun store. It was an H2, but didn't have any markings on the face.
