My deciding factors between these two barrels would be weight,length, and flash hider vs. target crown.
Also if I am looking at the same barrels on their site as you are, the Praire has a 223 chamber and the SASS has the 5.56. That brings up another whole conversation.
The reason I am buying a DPMS is just to say I have an AR and hunting coyotes. I don't really need to have 5.56 I guess because I won't be putting hundreds of rounds through it target practicing or anything. I thought I would want the flash hider for night hunting but that is hard enough as it is and getting multiple shots or shooting at multiple coyotes is practically out of the question when it's pitch black. I would most likely just shine one, shoot it, and be done because any more would probably be gone. I wish they had a 20" target crowned, fluted, black teflon coated heavy barrel (like the Prairie Panther) but in 1:9!!!
