You've already mentioned some of the things you are looking for, but it may be easier to rank these features into one post:
Rank the following by value. (Below is my ranking from most to least important in regards to a semiauto can).
-Mount/locking mechsnism
-POI shift
-Accuracy
-Blowback on semiautomatic weapons
-Signature (flash etc.)
-Durability
-Customer service/support
-Weight
-db reduction
-Price
-If the cool kids are running these
FWIW, the SOCOM762-RC is rated to 300 RUM and doesn't loose much db's on the higher pressured rounds due to how SF designed it (around full power military loads). Where it sucks is with low pressure subsonic rounds (i.e. 300 blackout).
I personally would look at:
Surefire SOCOM762-RC
Silencerco Saker 762
Silencerco Harvester Big Bore
Silencerco Omega (when announced)
Thunderbeast 338BA.
I know you would like to avoid a 338 can, but if decibels is more of a concern over length/weight then that is the way to go. I would probably skip the 30CB9 as it is more geared towards 308/6.5 creedmoor.
I have a 300 RUM and decided to go with a TBAC 338BA as my precision/hunting can. It honestly doesn't feel much heavier then my SOCOM762-RC.
