My gut tells me the heavy barrel may be best to allow enough shoulder when utilizing the 5/8 - 24threads. Otherwise you may wish to opt for a lighter weight package using a 9/16 to 5/8-24 adaptor. If this was my choice i would opt for the heavier barrel. your intended use may lead you to a slightly lighter barrel.
Best of all worlds would be to contour a heavy barrel with a flare the muzzel end to allow for enough shoulder, similar to the RAR Predator barrels.
