No difference in quality, accuracy. Dan Lilja and family have a good customer service ethic. I have never dealt with Bartlein.
Lilja have off-the-shelf profiles ready to go for Grendel. Bartlein ('battle in'?) sell unprofiled barrel blanks. This means you have to source one through a reputable gunsmith who will profile and finish it for you. There will be a wait but you can commission a bespoke profile if you like.
Both are sourced by national shooting teams. Lilja was also commissioned by DEVGRU to provide match-grade carbine barrels for their Recon Rifle concept. The staff from Bartlein originally worked at Kreiger. They are all top shelf.
