I mounted my EOTech on a LaRue EOTech mount that raises the optics .25". The BUIS sits in "offset co-witness" (lower 1/3 of the EOTech window). I prefer this because my FOV is bigger in comparison to a perfect co-witness where my red dot will sit in the upper 1/3 of the window.

Just noting the irony. Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

Any suggestions, and links?

While I'm happy with my Matech, I'd probably be just as satisfied with a Yanke Hill YHM-9680

or YHM-9680-A1

More info on each can be found about 2/3 of the way down at http://www.yhm.net/store/sights.html . Both list for $90 but I believe there are online retailers who sell them for less.

How about MI? I have no experience with them but it's under $100.

YHM Stand Alone BUIS, roughly $50.

What are the differences in the two ARMS mounts you listed?

The #40 has the 300m horizon line cut in it and the #40A2 uses the standard USGI irons.

Depends on if you are using a BM AR15.

I MUCH prefer the TROY BUIS over the ARMS and prefer the ARMS #40L-SP over the two ARMS BUIS's I mentioned. The poster wanted to stay around $90 so had to go with ARMS for flip up.
