It's going to be a A cat build for now and I'm looking at running a carbine system with a spears a cat stock which buffer assembly would work well with this?

The Spear stock only fits on a rifle length buffer tube. Rifle buffers only come in one weight, but it's the same weight as the heaviest carbine buffer, which is what I would suggest using on a suppressed rifle.

I want to run it with a suppressor down line at some stage do I need an adjustable gas block to do this?

Most guns don't 'need' one, but not using one is less than optimal.
