Once I have this rifle I would try to go out of my way into shooting at longer distances, at least 500m.
The consensus I've seen in research is that if its 10x or less, then SFP is OK, but if it's higher than 10, then FFP is preferred.
Having a 1-4, 1-8, 2.5-10, 3-18, and a 5-20... FFP is always preferred besides in a 1-4 power in my opinion. Perhaps not so ironically, my 1-4 is the only SFP optic I own.
More specifically, if you plan to mostly live at or above 50% of magnification AND your reticle is mil/moa hash/dot/grid, choose FFP.
If you plan to at least spend a lot of time shooting at minimum magnification and especially if your low end power is 1x, I'd carefully consider SFP because a visible reticle is better than a very hard to see reticle. It really depends on the magnification max and min as well as the specific reticle to determine if any given optic is usable at minimum power FFP.
