Of your choices... I'd go with the standard J&J Ceramic.

The Tippmann Werks barrel is surprisingly not that bad, but I'd choose the J&J over it.

No real advantage to the J&J Full Tilt vs Ceramic... go with whichever is cheaper.

CCI barrel can't be used on your 98.

Tippmann Sniper barrel is NOT worth picking up.

Differences in Lapco barrels:
Bigshot is medium bore .689
Microshot is very small bore .684
Autospirit is small bore .687
SnapShot is a two piece barrel, with your choice of length, and your choice of bore size (small, medium, large): .687, .689, .693

Nothing ceramic about it, the barrel is made of aluminum.

Teflon is impregnated into the aluminum's pores, which gives the barrel it's slick inner surface.

Only thing Ceramic is the name.

Accuracy is mainly dependant on paint to bore match. If you have a good paint to bore match, you will have good accuracy.

My opinion is that the J&J is a better barrel than the 32°. However, will you see a significant improvement? Probably not.

Work on the other variables that effect accuracy.
- Is your velocity too high? It'll cause shots to curve.
- Is your barrel clean? Oil and residue should be cleaned up with hot water and dish soap... should have mirror shine inside.
- Is the paint you are using fresh? The Diablo Nightmare should work fine in the Whisper and Ceramic as far as bore match goes.

Exactly. So before you go out and spend $40 on a barrel, try to find a good size and quality paint for your Whisper. Then, see how it performs.
