Thankyou and some advise please - New Guy

First I would like to say thank you to all the folks that have posted on this site because I have learned a lot about the 450 Bushmaster. I only regret that I started ordering parts before I spent the better part of a couple of days reading old threads and learning much. I have built rifles in 223, 6.5 Grendel and 300 Ham’r. I have experienced over gassed builds, under gassed builds, and perfect builds. My biggest problem seems to be over thinking stuff and my second is not asking for advise. I will probably never solve the first one , but I figure it is about time to solve the second problem. I would appreciate some advise before I spend more money on parts. ( Example I picked up an upper receiver and then found out I needed one with an enlarged ejection port, so I bought an Aero XL to get there enlarged port which is OK since I am sure this is not my last build.)
So here goes, my questions.
Is it better to go with an A1/A2 butt stock, spring and buffer or a Carbine adjustable stock set?
Is a muzzle break recommended ? And if so, which brand?
Should I call X-Caliber and see what size gas port hole they use in the 450 Bushmaster barrel?
Barrel = X-Caliber 18” mid length gas, muzzle thread 11/16X24, Heavy SoCom profile
BCG - 45 Bushmaster bolt, Rubber City Armory
Gas block + Superlative Arms adjustable
Receiver = Aero XL
Trigger = LaRue tactical
Handguard and spall parts = TBD
Thanks in advance , all advise welcome.
