Recommendations for 223 moderator

Hi all.
I have a nice ATec Maxim 6 on my 308 but I don't know which to choose for my Remy 700 .223.
I've seen a few reviews but they don't seem to focus in on the 223 and are more around the noisy 308.
My needs in order:
1. Reduce recoil for target shooting
2. Not overly long for my 26" barrel so I guess an overbarrel?
3. Noise reduction
4. Not too chunky in diameter
5. Doesn't rust to destruction
On the short list seems to be
MAE, Ace Utra Jet Z (but which model is best for 223?), Wildcat Pred, Reflex T8, ATec CMM
If anyone can share their experiences on the above makes or any others good + bad I'd really appreciate it.

I've got a stainless .223 moderator.
Comes apart into two sections, but also fully strips down with the help of an allen key.
Over-barrel design to save length...
Threaded 1/2" x 28 (UNEF) same as the AR15 barrel thread
Happy to post pics of it...if it'll give you some ideas

ASE Utra - effective and simple.

Is weight & cost not an issue?
How about a titanium jobby?

I've a Reflex T8 overbarrel on my Howa 223. Maybe a bit on the chunky side but does the job nicely.

Hardy gen IV from riflecraft, excellent mod for target shooting and very little overhang.

Hi
Don't forget to look at the Third Eye Tactical units. I've got one and it's fully strippable and is superb on my .223 and .243 as the threads can be altered by using different "inserts". I have a 1/2" unf for my .22lr a 5/8" unf for the .243 and a 18x1 for the .223. Superb value for money.
