Just for what it may be worth. An acquaintance of mine has two nearly identical custom Remingtons - one in 7mm UM and one in 300 UM. Both have brakes made by the same person - but the 7mm's brake's ports are canted 18 degress to the front. He claims the noise difference is VERY suignificant, with the canted brake much more bearable.

Similar to the chamber in the Vais that aims the noise forward.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

I have one of each. One is a 30-338 that I had Magna-Ported so my Ex could shoot comfortably on her first elk hunt. It weighs 7 Lb 2 Oz and is very comfortable to shoot. It doesn't seem to be any more noisey than un-cut but that is always subjective.
I have a Rifles Inc 30-06 Ackley with Rifles Inc's break that weighs about 6 1/4 lbs and appears to recoil about like a 6MM or 257 Roberts, again very subjective. The noise and concussion as mentioned above is abusive. I am going to send it back for a muzzle cap after using the rifle ( with plugs )this year.

Mag-Na-Porting is invisable and adds no length to the barrel ! Brakes are UGLY and noisey .
Don't forget to have your Liberals spayed or neutered !

Cutting holes in the barrel is not an aid to accuracy.

I was really conserned about magna-porting the 30-338 but it had no affect on accuracy at all. That is only an example of 1 and my only experience.

Get a removable muzzle brake, have your funsmith make a thread protector (don't lose it), and it's all good news. Brakes are great when you're shooting varmints as watching the point of impact is half the fun. You're probably at a bench or bag and wearing earmuffs, anyway. When you're deer hunting take off the brake, put on the thread protector (check your poi without the brake), and go hunting. NEVER hunt with the brake on, and no earmuffs. They're brutal This is exactly what needs to be done to a rifle with a brake. Cap it when hunting and enjoy the benefits at the range when using hearing protection.

Im told the point of impact changes when using a brake vs the thread protector.

I've had both.
If you forced me to take one it would be a Muzzle Brake cause you can take it off.
But I say learn to shoot without either.

I've shot medicman's 45-70 contender, and the muzzle tamer ports on that barrel are necessary when shooting the 500 grainers at warp speed, believe me. I wear hearing protection every time I am at the range, so no biggy. I have a B.O.S.S. equipped Browning in 300WinMag, and to begin with, I just had the ported BOSS, and I shot several game animals unprotected in the ear department. WOW! It was LOUD! Almost painful. It shot like a dream, and the recoil was about like a 243, but my ears actually hurt after only one shot. I got the CR model (Conventional Recoil) and although the recoil is a bit more like a 300 Magnum, at least my ears don't bleed when I shoot it.
