This is another one of those "buy once, cry once scenarios". You can't go wrong with a threaded barrel for a brake unless the Gunsmith screws up. A clamp on though may last through 1 shot to every shot you take, but at some point this is bound to happen unless shooting a small caliber.

I've seen one guy bring a rifle with a clamp on brake since I've been shooting competitions for the last 6 months or so before being deployed and before the end of the match I looked over and noticed it wasn't there anymore.
