I concur with everything Tom wrote. If that is your goal, the best you are likely to do is with a good, free-running (non-disciplined) OCXO. That will have the best stability you can get (short of a hydrogen maser) from 0.1 seconds to ~100 seconds.
For the convenience of having automatic drift correction, many of us use GPSDOs and turn off the disciplining before making measurements.
I might consider a PRS10 as an alternative, but certainly no other "compact" Rb, disciplined or otherwise. Even the rack-mount HP 5065 can't beat a good free-running OCXO. Many of the "compact" Rb units (and especially the FE5680) have nasty output waveforms with many spurs.
