I have a J&J Ceramic.  You cannot shoot them clean.  You have to squeegee them out just like any other barrel.

The bigshot is the ONLY barrel I recommend. It's the best barrel available (not counting barrel systems like the snapshot, etc.) and run right about $50.

Buy it. You'll be very happy.

I also noticed you asked about a rifled barrel. Trust me, you do NOT want a rifled barrel. They don't improve accuracy. They only increase breaks inside the barrel.

The 32D Whisper seems to be a popular "cheap" barrel as well, although I have not shot one myself. Also, look around for people selling off their old barrels. I picked up a Smart Parts All American for a steal a few years back. You should also be able to find the SP Progessive for under $50 new.

I say either the Cemaric, or the bigshot... The Cemaric is much
easier to clean out a break but the bigshot is quite a bit more
accurate.
