How fast/abusive are you going to be?
The cyclone is a great can (quiet/accurate) but I wouldn't want to abuse it too hard. It is also long and heavier then other options. I also do not believe it has Inconel baffles so the SDN-6 would be more resistant to heat. Another thing to keep in mind a lot of uppers come with 51T flash hiders (I have 3 collecting dust in my parts bin)... you can usually buy them really cheap second hand. (i.e. if you buy an AAC upper it will come with a 51T).
Another option right now is that Thunderbeast is having a group buy sale. It is a TI can so it will be lighter then the Cyclone and gets really good praise in the Sniper/Comp crowd.
I personally went Surefire (but they are expensive). For the price I think the SDN-6 would be a great buy. A good friend bought a Cyclone (should be here in the next 2 months) but his purpose for the can is a 300 blackout Handi rifle and light use on a bolt-gun and M1A.
