Does it have to be an LPVO? Red dot (Aimpoint/Eotech) and a G33 as an option.

Eotech + 5x magnifier?

Burris XTR 2 are built like a tank. There have been really good sales on them lately as well. Check out Natchez
I picked up a Primary Arms Platinum 1-8 with the Raptor reticle. I wouldn’t have any hesitation about using it on a duty rifle.
I would very seriously consider an EOtech or Aimpoints plus a magnifier for a defensive/shtf rifle.
You are probably not going to engage at the distance where the reticule would matter. And at close range I like an EOtech, or any other red dot over an LPVO.
No eye box, less parallax, it's far easier to shoot from unconventional positions.
Plus if budget is a problem, you could buy the sight now, and magnifier later.
I would also add you can remove the magnifier to save weight.
That said, I like LPVOs too, and wouldn't have a problem with any mentioned so far.

Also take a look at the Trijicon credo. It’s looks promising. Depends on SFP or FFP. Range from $800 to $1k

I own a Razor 1-6, and an Eotech EXPS3/G33 Magnifier combo. The magnifier sits on my patrol rifle behind a T2, the Razor on a gun at home. I find, as a city cop, the 3x Magnifier helps tremendously with barricaded suspects or high risk stops, but moves out of the way quickly for a very good close range optic, which is what I need out of my rifle 9 times out of 10. Were I finding myself in longer engagement distances, an LPVO would be great, but the truth is that I need a red dot far more than I need high magnification.
I went through the same thing recently and settled on the Vortex Viper PST GenII 1-6. It's durable for a patrol rifle or HD rifle, it has a very forgiving eye box like the Razor as well as daylight bright dot. It can be found new for 600-800 bucks and that leaves money for a mount of your choice.
