Note that the 16" gun has a lightweight barrel, so the can needs to be lightweight to maximize handling and minimize barrel droop.
The MK18 is a factory DD 10.3, so the mount has to work with that barrel/rail.
I like the new AAC Ranger 3 for price and performance. It's short and pretty light too. The only downside is the thread-mount. Not sure how often I'd want to swap. Maybe I should buy one for each gun?
I also like the AAC Mini4. It's still gonna be pretty loud on the MK18, though.
Other contender would be a Surefire unit, but I don't know much at all about them.
Other options?
Main critera:
1) Cost - Let's face it, yes, you buy it for life, but it's also consumable. It's going to wear out. I'm not worried about a few dB one way or the other
2) Lightweight
3) Short
4) Mounting System
5) Durability
