With a red dot optic, I completely concur that a 11.5 (give or take an inch) with a can is simply the tool of choice from 0-250yd, and still good past that. A slightly longer carbine with low powered variable glass would be my tool of choice for the next couple hundred meters, and then it becomes a question of caliber meeting needs more than barrel length.
If travel to states where a brake has to be permanent is required, then there's little disadvantage in going with 14.5" (but permanently attaching muzzle devices isn't ideal - if that's not a requirement stick with 16"). For the SBR, 11.5" is still the best answer without amplifying information to clarity the question - 10.5" makes sense if compactness is more valuable, and 12.5" is the best 'One Rifle' type solution (or with reflex suppressors), but that mid-range answer is arguably the best [that said, my Suppressed SBR is a 10.5" with Reflex Suppressor]
