    If recoil reduction is the main motivation then a brake will always be more effective.
    The reduction in felt recoil is from the added weight and lessening of the rocket effect at the muzzle. But the gas is still rushing out inline. A brake can direct the gas out at 90 or more deg to rifle.
    Horses for courses.

    Having used both now I can say definitely a suppressor for me. Can't believe I waited so long

    The brake was very effective in reducing recoil. This 7mmrum was like shooting a .243. But loud!!!
    Definitely never shot without hearing protection.

    The suppressor on the other hand weighs a little more. Like someone else said just harden up. It's worth the carry in my opinion
    No recoil , No noise and the ability to spot your own shot when on your own
