To my knowledge there’s no downside to using the lead compensator for both.

Agree with no downside

Is one compensator more effective in mitigating muzzle rise and recoil than the other?

Thanks

When Ransom testing the lead Brake has a little less rise, when shooting I personally don't notice a difference when shooting off hand.

With the same gun is there any difference in accuracy with the comp with holes vs a comp without?

I performed a very limited set of Ransom test with target at 50 yards and group size was not effected by brake, but a small shift POI was noted.

No testing was done with a blanked brake.

Wonder if using an epoxy made for metal and installed properly, in a 460 comp, would hold up?

Doubtful that the any of the common epoxy products would hold up. Pressure at muzzle with be in the 20KPSI and the temperature well in excess if 1600 F.

Would suggest anyone wanting to "blank" the brake , use a manufactured blank or simply remove the brake on the Model V or 8.275 model

I found the large hole on the lead comp to obscure the front sight more
from smoke than the 3 small holes on the jacket comp for my 460V. This was way back when I was using some acme high coated bullets in my 45LC and 454's. The only problem with using the small hole comp with lead or coated bullets is the potential to close off the small holes.
