If you got the money you can go the Angel of barrels, DYe Boomstick Titanium Series. If you don't have $170 you can go the step down the Dye Boomstick. If you want to go cheaper and still want performance go with the Lapco Bigshot or J&J Ceramic.
FYI: The TiBoomstick is the same as a regular Boomstick except it's lighter.

If you dont want to spend more than $50 on a barrel go with a lapco bigshot. If you got 90-120 bucks to spend go with an all american or a boomstick.

My cp shoots just as well as my boomer and costs less. You can also change the control bores and tips so you have the right size for whatever paint your shooting. Whats going to give you the best accuracy is the paint to barrel match. The Cp set and the freak set will help yo do that with less barrels. If you have a favorite paint that you alwys use, you should try that paint in a few barrels and see which one has the best fit. That barrel is going to give you the best accuracy with that paint.

well if u dont mind the color (black) the DYE excel is an excellent barrel for just $60 otherwise the DYE boomstick is a good choice if u wanna spend the money

Id go for the Dye Boomstick, and yes, having a longer barrel does matter, i have a 16 inch boomstick on my 2000 autococker, and it shoots way better then my brother's 14 inch dye boomstick.
