SBR AR15 barrel length?

Did not find a specific post on this so figured I would ask with a poll.

What Length are you running for .300 blk in AR15?

What position is Gas port, pistol position or shorter?

Does it cycle without can for subsonic?

I have 16" barrel with carbine gas port and like it a lot, but I have an SBR and want to get one hopefully before next year hunting season, and trying to figure the most used lenght.

I originally purchased a 16" Barrel from Tom (tp155) at Paladin Machine Service. Now that I received my SBR tax stamp, I had Tom cut it to 10.5", and rethread for a supressor.

I am also using Paladin Machine's Adjustable 3-position gas blocks; The adjustability of the gas block is nice, but I thought it was a pain in the ass to switch the gas black from supersonic to subsonic all the time; you never have a screwdriver when you need one! I was able to develop my handloads to cycle subsonic loads with my supressor using the supersonic gas port setting.

ETA: (I am running a pistol length gas system)
