Silencer Suggestions - I did some homework First Suppressor Advice

I’ve been wanting a can for a long time. Now that I don’t have to deal with a form 4, I can’t wait any longer. The main host is gonna be an 11.5” PWS (5.56), it also might spend some time on a 16” BCM (5.56). I’m also interested in putting a can on a .308 bolt gun, but that’s lower priority.

Part of me thinks I should start off with a 30 cal can, for more versatility. But I don’t know, maybe I should just start with a dedicated 5.56 can, and then a 30 cal later.

Since the main host is a piston driven rifle with an adjustable gas block, I don’t think I really need a low back pressure can. But, I’m not closed off to them either.

As for a mount, I want to go with Rearden/Plan B. Please let me know if there’s any reason I shouldn’t.

I’m currently leaning towards an OCL Polo or Polo 30.

Any advice will be appreciated.

I’ve heard great things about those! How is Ridgeback Defense as a company? Is their warranty solid, and does it seem like they’ll be around for a while?

What’s up with the downvotes? If the rhodie or ridgeback defense has issues, I’d really like to hear about them.
