From a military standpoint, I would choose whatever optic will be the most likely to be useful for the environment I anticipate getting into. We had both ACOG's and EoTech's. Each has advantages and drawbacks. If I'm doing stuff in a big village, I would prefer the EoTech. If we are doing recon out in the mountains, I would prefer the ACOG. My personal AR optic is a NF 1-4. IMHO, it's the best of both worlds. I bought my Grendel as a practical long range rifle, primarily for hunting and competition. For that I got a USO 3.2-17. The FFP reticle is great for holding and you don't have to worry about what power you are on. (I rarely use full power) Unfortunately I am a recruiter now, but after my 3 years is up and I go back to a real unit, those are the 2 optics I will bring with me on a deployment.
