Need your opinions on my 6.5 Creedmoor build

I'm gathering parts for my first large frame build and i'm wondering which route to go on the barrel. My first thought is to buy either a 24" or 26" Bartlein from Craddock precision. Since this is a gas gun and from what i've read, the large frames are harder to drive, would this barrel just be overkill? I don't own any other large frame AR type rifles nor have i shot any, only bolt action in the larger calibers. For reference the rest of the build will comprise of PSA PA-10 stripped upper and lower, PRI hand guard, charging handle, and gas block for a mk12 mod1 look, magpul PRS stock, JP silent capture spring, JP low mass operating system, Geissele SSA-E, and most likely topped with a gen 2 razor.
 
I don’t think you could go wrong with it. If you really want to squeeze every last bit of performance out of it your best bet will be to square the receiver face and bed the barrel to the receiver among other things to accurize it as much as possible.
