Always makes me smile how the Hide responses would make you think half of all PRS shooters are running suppressed, just based on how many Hiders doth protest to a brake.
I've run a few different brakes, and don't have strong feelings about them by and large; I like the Heathen (particularly the largest versions), but they're not as toolless as advertised, I use a strap wrench to make sure that sucker don't move. At that point I'd rather just carry a crescent, but it is what it is. I've had the APA FB G3, not sure how much muzzle rise control the little screw ports provide but the recoil performance is definitely there.
+1 to double ear pro; I eventually acknowledged to myself that I needed to double up when I noticed that my ears would consistently be ringing after the first few rounds with a single layer. I haven't gone back to a "concussive" brake since starting to double up, but I don't expect it'd be an issue. I just made the silly-seeming jump and purchased a Chad brake from Without Warning, haven't gotten it yet but he sure thinks it's the greatest brake ever to grace a firing line, and if he's half right I think it's worth the cost (about what you'd spend buying factory ammo for a single 2-day match haha).
My personal recommendation to you would be to look at the different reviews where someone did semi-quantitative comparisons to all the brakes on recoil control, and pick one of the higher performers. Then double up on pro, with active muffs and passive plugs. Agreed with
@spife7980 that people who are chasing placement run brakes for a reason; suppressors make it more pleasant to shoot, but more difficult to spot impacts at closer ranges. And you'll find far fewer cans on the line at a PRS match than brakes
