Brakes are 75 bucks and 125 to install them. They'll be finished just like the one in the photo.
The photo is a Vaise brake. The ones I make don't have the itty bitty holes around the crown.
Recoil reduction? I've never done formal testing, what I can tell you is they work and they work well. Just make sure you have ear plugs as they do get loud. Some claim to mitigate the noise but the fact is you are exposing a higher volume of high velocity gas to stagnant air. It's going to thunderclap and its going to get louder no matter how you drill your holes.
If your really worried about recoil, get a mercury slush tube and install it in the stock. That in conjunction with a brake and a good "wuss" pad is a great way to tame an out of control rifle.
