Re: Rifle Barrels?
Any....
I would worry more about who chambers and installs it. To that end I would call the smith I want to do the work and ask him who has the shortest lead time on a blank or what he has in stock.

What about contour? Since you're looking at 20", perhaps you're goal is to save weight? I would go with Rem Varmint or M24 contour. Cutting to length is easy.
I see no reason not to get a 1/10 twist. This will allow you to use the heaviest bullets available.
I would go to Southern Precision Rifles and see if they have a blank meeting that criteria in stock. I would go with Bartlein, Krieger, then Rock Creek.

Re: Rifle Barrels?
I prefer Krieger and Bartlein, but would be happy with a Rock Creek, Obermeyer or Brux if I couldn't find the first two. Get a 1:10" twist and don't look back. As Lonewolf said, choose one of the reputable smiths from this site and have him chamber the rifle for you. That will set you up pretty well.
