Nitride is superior to any other coating, or raw. The origin is now nitride action body and bolt. It used to be a combination of nitride action/dlc bolt body, now it's all nitride.
If i only had to pick one its the nitrided version but the bead blasted isnt far off and my short action nitrided version isnt as smooth as my long action for some reason. At the end of the day, theyre all super smooth compared to most off the shelf options.
Fwiw, I ran my bead blasted action at class for over 1k rounds. The issue i had was specific mags feeding correctly, the polymer MDT mags worked best in my rig. I had no issues with the bolt binding and still dont. I think thats prevelant in certain actions and I can make mine do it but if you run it correctly its not a problem in my experience.
