I'm also looking at a suppressor in the near future, is a rifle length tube gonna matter much? 16 inch barrel, carbine gas system.

The buffer systems aren't specific to gas systems. You can have either buffer system on whatever gas system. Unless you want adjustability or shorter stock length, there is really no reason to switch to carbine. The rifle system has smoother recoil and is more reliable. It’s also better for suppressor use.
