Amen!At 100 yards it seems like a case of paralysis by analysis. You could throw a sharpened stick at that distance and harvest a deer. You could literally toss a couple pellets of triple seven down the pipe, jam in what have you and blast away.
It’s really not as complicated as it seems. Most of the Barnes you’re looking at are .45 caliber. So you want a black colored sabot from either MMP or Harvester. I’d go with the standard MMP HPH12.

To your specific questions on sabot differences. Barnes doesn’t make their own sabots. All (majority?) of the sabots on the market are made by MMP or Harvester. They are made in different colors and configurations and rebranded for Hornady, TC, Barnes, etc. The primary difference in “EZ” type sabots is a smaller loaded outside diameter making them easier to load. Although as has been said that’s rarely a good thing. Sabots generally shoot best when fairly tight, IME. But muzzy barrels vary wildly in bore dimensions so you really just have to try some different ones to see what works best with your barrel.
