I'm too poor to afford a suppressor. I'm just adding to my post count.
As long as there is paper work plus that tax stamp, I'll not be finding out anytime soon!
The biggest difference is : Good Quality QD's are heat treated as are the muzzle devices.
Barrels are NOT! After a lot of on and off's the QD's are good as new, the Direct threads on barrels start to loosen and you can have a bullet strike or launch one downrange.
I started out with direct thread but after barrel threads loosening and suppressor threads wearing especially on aluminum cans I went all out Rearden mounts and Rearden/liberty muzzle devices.
Had to re-thread a couple guns and steel thread insert on an aluminum can.

That's a good point if removing the can much. I'm sure many have several hosts and only a couple cans. DT is awesome for simplicity sake when on a primary host. I have gone back and forth on my new can, but I have a 13.9" and if I ever decided to pin and weld a device to reach the mystical length of 16" a QD mount is an unconstitutional consideration.
QD whenever possible. Buy what you need to get you started then watch for sales and pick up an extra one here or there for future use. It helps for sure.
And this is just me, but I do flash hiders instead of muzzle brakes. Flash hiders you can just Rocksett them on and tighten it down and you're good to go, muzzle brakes you'll have to time and use shims and all that jazz and I kind of figure less is more when installing a QD mount.
I don't know about unconstitutional but it is a 200 dollar decision
Guess it depends on how one would interpret certain parts of the Constitution. But, it could mean a 10 year and $10,000 decision, as well.
