i prefer the 12".  its a good length that stabilizes well and doesn't get in the way as much.  once you get over that length i feel like it gets in the way.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

Any straight barrel will work as well as any other with the E-Trigger.

And I like 12"-14" barrels in general.  12" is a nice length, but 14" can be helpful at times to poke through brush and wrap around bunkers.  That said, 12" is a little more manuverable.  Either way, you really can't go wrong and their won't be much of a difference.  You get to 16" though and you start to waste more air to overcome the added friction caused by extra length with no real benifiets.

12-14" is your best bet. No real advantage or disadvantage to either. I've used both and can't say that I prefer one over the other. Yomillio hit the only real differences.

The J&J is alot more accurate than the Apex.  Personally I LOVE the distance of the Apex/flatline though, of course along with the accuracy of the J&J.  I myself have a 14" J&J with an Apex tip.  You ever consider giving that a try?  It gives the apex effect alot more accuracy, and plus if your not feelin' the apex effect, you can always just turn it off.
