20" gives you a longer sight radius and a velocity boost. 24" has always felt ungainly to me, but for varminting and target plinking it can do just fine.

If somebody starts talking about CQB or whatnot, just realize your odds of taking your civilian rifle into a CQB situation are less than your odds of winning the lottery...
