I have that same barrel; it is nice. I hope you like yours. I have an adjustable gas block on mine and I only shoot suppressed. I have two 30 cal suppressors Sandman-S and a Nomad TI. Shooting unsuppressed is for savages, and the Sandman on the end of an 18" rifle is a heavy beast!
I use an H3 buffer. It makes me happy. I personally don't care for extra power springs, because all that extra power slams your BCG back into the chamber and you have to compress a spring quite a bit before you get any resistance. Other people like to do it other ways. It's basically a form of religious warfare to have an online discussion about buffers and springs (lol).
We just did a buffer question. Check out my post here.

Have you ever heard the phrase "only believe half of what you see and nothing you hear"? Well, I got that Lantac BCG for my 12.5" 5.56 pistol. Money down the drain! My previous setup was noticeably less gassy to my face. What was my original setup? Regular full auto BCG (all chrome) and a "HSS Tungsten Buffer - 6.5 ounces". People will say "Oh the recoil! All that weight bouncing around must beat your shoulder to death." Well, once again the proof is in the pudding. It works and there is so little recoil I can shoot follow up shots so fast I get accused of having a binary trigger when shooting drills at 25 yards.
Other benefits to a heavy buffer. You will never rip a rim off. If you reload your spent brass will be in better shape. When your rife gets completely gunked up from shooting suppressed, that extra mass will seat your next round every time.
Back to you. I would pick an H3 buffer.
Pro tip. Lube your BCG with "bar and chain oil" it stays around longer.
