Yes, that is where the 14.7" CLGS came from, mostly for people wanting to duplicate the exact look of an M4 without needing an SBR Stamp Tax and not wanting the elongated A2 comp-looking thing on the end.
Neither of the poll choices will work for an M4/SOPMOD 1 build because they are MLGS, but either would work for a SOPMOD Block II free float build.
Now that telescoping pistol braces are the rage, it doesn't matter as much unless you were building an M4 look-alike Grendel and wanted that 14.5" look without stamp tax, the main determining factor being what buttstock you'll be using.
If your buttstock choice is based on duplicating the look of an M4 or even RO723 or RO727 (M16A2 Carbines), then you'll want the 14.7" barrel with a pinned A2 or other muzzle device, Surefire being more common on the SOPMOD guns nowadays.
My inclination is that people don't care as much about the M4 look, will slap an SB Tactical or Maxim Defense PDW tele-brace on there and go with whatever shorter pistol barrel they want.
That's the boat I'm in currently, with my 12" group buy build that will be suppressed probably all of the time.
