need to know the best option for 3 new barrels I just got, What’s more bombproof? Will point contact from set screws really affect accuracy?

Which one are you referring to? Also I Don’t want to pin even though I know that’s the most bombproof option, I want maximum accuracy but was wondering if I should invest in clamp on or set screw with 1 dimple.Got a bunch of both. Haven't dropped any bombs on them but they've never moved. If you're serious about making them failure proof pinning is probably where it's at.
With a dimple and some blue loctite a set screw is pretty much not going anywhere, and it doesn't need that much torque. Clamp ons often seal a little better, but the screws can interfere with tight I.D. handguards.Which one are you referring to?

I have always used set screw gb’s for that reason - easy to line up gas port with dimpled barrel.
Just wondering - what’s the recommended method to ensure good alignment if one was forced to use a clamp on gb?
