I would say it comes down to availability and personal preference.
You can't go wrong with either one IMO.

Criterion or Shilen barrel?

James also has the barrelnuts and recoillugs I want, and, initially, the tools--action wrench and barrelnut wrench-plate--I needed.. Even with my very-weight-and-stress-limited right shoulder, I can now change barrels in about a half-hour. Don't forget a No-Go headspace gage.
