Curious on people's thoughts about about sbr's in the 556, 10.5-12.5 range and what optic would you pick?

Trying to decide between a "short dot" and "t1" optics.
I personally want to go "short dot" but does the size and weight and ability to see farther outweigh the light weight, hard to see target at range and lower cost?

Sorry if you can't understand I'm a tad drunk and I'm really curious on where people stand.

I planned on going for a gray man gp rifle if that makes sense.
