First I like to welcome you to Tippmann, I use to own the 98sniper barrel but I think its too long. I would recommend getting the flatline. Have you check at pbreview.com and read some reviews.

A mere hours ago, I was hiding in a creekbed laying woodsball with my best friends. I usualy play stock 98c barrel, but I borrowed one of my friends's GTA Sniper barrels. They were pretty good overall, but they don't touch a Flatline when it comes to woodsball. If have the cash to shell out for the FL barrel and the high quality paint is seems to require, go for it, otherwise I'd go J&J 14" personally.

I'm assuming you're playing woodsball. Going on that assumption, I'd say the flatline.

I've heard that Flatlines are a lot of work. What does it take to install them? And how hard are they to squeegee?
