Sounds like you will not... so the "most accurate" barrel out there is probably a waste of your money, unless you are all uptight about reducing quarter size groups to dime size groups, it is money that you can spend elsewhere.
I am not a fan of permanently attached FS... the M4 barrel is 14.5 inches long, so that it can mount a bayonet (7" of barrel past the gas port - rifle port is at 13") -- I know that some say it is better for CQB, but if your lifestyle has you in shootouts in confined spaced regularly, then let's get you in a shorter barrel and a suppressor.
Sound to me like what you want is a 16" carbine, I suggest a midlength gas system -- I would stear you perhap towards Steve (ADCO) and get one of the 16" 1:8 SS barrels he offers, or hit up Paul (BCM) and see what he has, use the buck fifty you save to buy ammo and mags!
