Should I bar both strings to play this speed lick?

This is a sextuplet lick that's supposed to be played at about 100 BPM. Would it be best to bar the e and b at the 10th fret and let the pinky do all the work, or should I shift my index finger with the string being played?

Answer #1:

It would depend on the sound you want. Do you want to hear notes sustaining from one string to the next? If so, barre. If not, don't barre.

Answer #2:

If I had play that lick in a high gain rock environment, I wouldn't barre, I'd just shift my first finger as needed.
