New barrel will be 1.100" at the muzzle. Brake is 1.200". My options for thread size are .750" or .875". I'd like to leave as much wall thickness on the barrel as reasonably possible. Thoughts?? Thanks
 
.750" should give more flexibility with other components should you chose a different off shelf device in the future. If you never plan to change things it's a toss up, most .30 cal barrels are threaded 5/8-24. Couple of mine are threaded 5/8-24, couple others are 1/2-28 I can tell no difference in impact shift or performance. I went with Q-cherry bombs on my rifles to use the trash panda suppressor on as many as I could.
I did find this the other day, if you're trying to eliminate every possibility of inaccuracy it might help you choose.
