Good AR barrels?

[Schmo]

What is a good AR barrel manufacturer? Of course I want it as accurate as possible, but this will be an 11.3” or 11.5” barrel, so it’s not a long distance shooter. My go to brand has been Ballistic Advantage, and they’re decent. Faxon is similar price range, but I’ve never had one. There’s KAK, but my guess is no better than BA or Faxon. Obviously, Bartlein and Proof make good stuff, but don’t have quite that coin. Who makes a good barrel without breaking the bank?
