My thoughts.

I would prefer the heatshrink to be inside the barrel.

If I wanted, I could add my own heatshrink on the outside.   In fact 
I am already doing this on some cables.   I take a piece of half inch 
diameter colored 3M heatshrink and place it on the barrel and blast 
it with a heat gun.   I do not place it over the entire barrel and 
cable, I only put it on the barrel.  I use it for coloring, I do not 
put it forward to interfere with unscrewing the barrel if I need 
to.   

Adding external heatshrink to already built cables is really easy, 
however it will require a heat gun.
