If you screw on a muzzle device it tends to build crud quicker than not and this will affect accuracy. Consider having the barrel re-crowned if at all in doubt down the track, it's not a big job. You can even buy a hand crown reamer from Pacific Tool and Gauge with it's own pilot guide and do it yourself.
I hope there's room on that limb for more than one. I have brakes or flash hiders on all but one of my AR's. Guess which one I've never had to de-crud the muzzle on? While the brakes make for less recoil, I seriously doubt the 6.5 would be much more fatiguing to shoot without it, if at all.
I am seriously considering having my 22" threaded barrel cut down to 20 or 21, and putting a target crown on it My only regret is I won't be able to cut it to 21 3/4".
