Biggest key, look into the manufacturers, don't skip the little guys!
A lot is going on. So many of the little guys are focusing on db's and weight! Don't let price scare you, it's all about materials and quality!

This is great, thank you all. So besides decibels I should compare weight, usability, materials, cleaning, quality and even the company itself.
Yes it's such a 'permanent' type purchase!
AAC 762-SDN-6 Bought 3-Jan
DDA MASK22 Silencer 22 LR Bought 2-Feb
AAC TiRant 45M bought 12-March
All in 2018
Now ask me if I possess any of them, umm no! It’s a painful process , buy from a LGS. That has a range so at least you can have conjugal visits

Yes all of that some things will just carry more weight. For instance; Cleanability isn't that big of a deal to me for 2 reasons. A.) Centerfire rifle cans (.30cal, 5.56, etc.) Are generally user serviceable, meaning there isn't anything you can really do to clean internally. This is not an issue tho as these calibers typically burn fast and clean (relatively speaking) so carbon buildup will be relatively negligible. B.) On .22lr or rimfire cans, cleaning is a factor. These are user serviceable and most have a system of stacking baffles that are keyed to only assemble one way. I made sure to go with stainless baffles so I can toss them in my tumbler with steel media and it will be as good as new in a few minutes.
Be sure to check what length barrels they can handle. I shoot sbr's a good bit and the shorter they get the hotter so they all have guidelines for barrel length. For my .30 can I personally figured if it was rated to .300RUM, belt fed rated and could shoot 5.56 down to 7.5" barrels, then quality and durability wouldn't be an issue. And it's not, but the tradeoff is a can, in it's longest configuration is about a pound, which you don't think is much but it adds up.

the Georgia gun club has 2-4 aac ti-rant 45 that they are trying to get rid of. I think they are $399 you may can talk em down. I got my 2 for 299 each . They are the older ones but are good suppressors.
Check it out!
Check it out!
I just put two cans in jail recently. both were Dead Air- a Mask 22 and a 45 Ghost-M. I will mostly shoot 9mm with the Ghost and don't think it gives up much to the 9mm, plus I have a threaded 45 and will see if I can shoot 44 specials thru it as well. I'm looking into 30 cal cans right now, Dead Air/Rugged/SilencerCo all seem to be the top companies these days (add Thunderbeast if you are considering rifle cans). Hard to go wrong with items from any of them.
Look around for deals and see what options are out there and what works well on your setups. IF you are running something with an odd threading, make sure you can get an adapter for it. I know rugged is running some promos right now, not sure who else is.
Quite a few shops around ATL now carry NFA stuff- Bullseye in Lawrenceville, Martins in Alpharetta, and Autreys Armory south of town all have good selection. And of course Quiet Riot in McDonough. I'm sure there are more but these tend to have a good selection of a variety of manufacturers.

Dumb question from a dumb old guy....Why don't you just buy a .45 can, and then you can shoot everything thru it, all the way "down" to .22??? Seems like you only need 1 can, a biggun that will handle all calibers. What am I missing??
the biggest issue is 22lr. It's super dirty and will make a mess of the full size cans. Some larger diameter cans aren't designed to be opened like a 22 can as you need to clean the 22 cans every few hundred to 1k rounds. Plus they are heavier than a 22 can.
My plan is to start with three cans- a 22lr because they typically are very different from the other caliber cans (lighter, easier to disassemble, etc), a pistol can that will do 300BO subs if I want to go that route, and then a 30 caliber can that will do more rifle duty.
but if you just wanted 2, you could do a multi caliber rifle can, and a 22lr can and be done. It would just be heavier than you might want to stick on the end of a pistol.
