Over-thinking recoil???

FIRST POST!
Howdy guys. I ordered my 450 Bushy upper from Cabela's, and I am planning my lower build. This is my first post here, but I have been a member at ARFCOM since 2004.
I'm getting ready to order parts for my lower and I am taking the recoil into consideration. Everyone says that the Thumper kicks like a 12 gauge. That is not a big deal to me, but I read lots of threads about recoil reduction.
Should I install a hydraulic buffer in mine or is a regular buffer spring just fine? I've never used a hydraulic buffer before, but I would consider it for this build. What is some first hand advice?
Thanks,
Mike F
