Anyone that share their experience with being a 88m in solse,group support battalion, or even 160th SOAR?

Lots of work but plenty of rewards!

SF Command is a good assignment to try out, I wouldn't suggest doing more than one 3 year term back to back there. You lose the conventional experience that makes you valuable. Go there for three years, then go do your broadening assignment, then return as an E7.
If you're going to the 160th or 75th you'll love it and want to stay until you have to leave to get promoted. The difference is that in the 160th or 75th you ARE a Night stalker or Ranger. In SF Command you are support; there's a very clear line between SF and SF Support, you even wear a different beret.
They're all good assignments. If I had it to do all over again I would go to the 75th again or to 160th and then down the road as an E7 go to an SF Command assignment or JSOC.
