The best barrel for the Alpha Black is the same as the best barrel for any other marker. It's the barrel you're happy with. That means you're gonna have to go out there and get some first-hand experience with barrels. There is never a magical, super-great demigod barrel that will wreak pwnage across the landscape over everyone else's puny mortal barrels.
Also, check out the following thread, rule #2:

That and a Palmers Brass Barrel or Barrel kit with Apex is not a bad combo as long as you use good paintballs.

i actually just bought one and was suprised at how accurate the stock barrel was, four years of paintball, and ive never seen anything so nice out of the box. it looks a little short, just barely reaching beyond the short handguard (if you have the tatical version), so im going to see if i can get like a 2-3 inch barrel extension (if they make them?)to attach to the back of the barrel, it doesnt matter what it looks like, it will be secluded by the handguard
you're a very new member to the forum, i dont know how long youve actually been playing, but when i first began, i was obsessed with upping my markers, blowing weeks worth of pay at a time, ive come to learn now that ups are cool, but if you dont need it, its probaly not best to get it, because when it comes time to sell that marker, those upgrades will only add a tiny fraction to your sale price, and it will be a dismal waste of money (trust me, you'll be kicking yourself)
im not trying to tell you what to do, its completley up to you, but you might want to look into more useful upgrades first also, im going to get a cyclone for mine soon.
hope this all helps
