Gun and gear reviews Muzzle brakes

I have a Bergara b14 hunter 7mm rem mag, it came with a omni brake on it. I don’t feel the recoil is that bad but out of curiosity I’m wondering if people have used other muzzle brakes.

Are they worth the money ?

Do they help recoil that much better?

Does changing a muzzle brake affect accuracy at all?

Is radial , side ports or a hybrid of both best?

Would like to know peoples experiences and thoughts on it

Thanks

I don't have anything to compare to with others, but I have an MDT comp brake on my tikka in 6.5

Not a heavy recoil round but it's a significant difference with the brake on vs off

Before I bought it, doing some research said the area 419 one and mdt are the best. I got the MDT to support Canadian business
