I use Plan A on all of my rifles with good results. As far as a difference in sound reduction I dont think it really matters in rifle cans. However I think it may matter in PCC cans. A 3 lug almost completely fille the blast chamber in a smallish can like an Omega 9K or R9. That could definitely make it louder than direct thread.
Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

Not rocket science but sure as hell not anywhere near easy. lol But hey you do what works for you.
I run a Hydrogen K 6.5 on my 6.5x55 hunting rifle, DT with a Wolfpack recessed hub mount. No audible difference between a normal hub mount and the recessed one.
On a bigger can I wouldn't even think about it, but the Hydro K isn't big (smaller than a Hux Flow 9k) and the difference in volume reduction between the normal and recessed hub mount isn't insignificant.
Also didn't notice any difference with a Sandman S, DT vs Keymo brake vs Area419 universal mount on a 300WM.
All you gotta say is;
“I went direct thread because I’m cheap. But, because DT can walk loose and my time is effectively free, I use rock set and wait the recommended 1 day to let it cure when installing a suppressor. And, it’s super easy to remove too. All I need is a stove, a pot, a tumbler, some water, a strap wrench, a reaction rod, and a vice.”
As you can see, when properly laid out, the elegance of the simplicity is impossible to ignore.

Until you want to clean your rifle and end up with a can full of patches lol
I've gotta be honest, the main attraction of DT for me is length and weight. A while back, I got it in my head that I was going to put together that one rifle. The rig that would be my goto 90% of the time.
When I was done, I wound up with an 11.5" pig. So, I went back and re-thought things. I went with a barrel with a more modern profile. I canned the riflespeed gas block, i went with a lighter light. I went from a gen 2 razor to an NX8. A few ounces here and there and was able to get to a rig that weighed less than 9 lbs.
Going DT can save you some weight where it matters the most.
