If you do a web search on the subject of Glock barrels with lead bullets, you will find enough opinions and testimonies to confuse you even more.
Personally I wouldn't bother with aftermarket barrels.
From my own experience, Glock barrels (at least in 9mm), shoot good quality hard lead bullets just fine, other than needing more cleaning than some other brands.

'Zactly! Lead through a Glock is not recommended. Might have warranty problems, too. Lead (hard, at least) seems to work well. My guess is softer lead gives the cleaning headaches.
It's basically a personal choice, IMO. Unless the aftermarket barrel is to change caliber of the gun, following Glock's recommendation seems the main reason.
Although I have read some people said their aftermarket barrel (all different brands...) improved results in some way. I was not one of them but it seems some do.
