Jimro, receivers bend and flex just as repeatable as barrels do for every shot fired. I think M98 Mauser receivers are stiffer in the vertical plane than Remington 7XX ones. And receiver flexing is a lot less than barrel flexing.
So, I think totally free floating barrels work best with both types.
When benchresters starting their game in the early 1950's the quickly learned that totally free floating barrels without pads anywhere shot most accurate from their salvaged M98 Mauser actions.
