IMHO, the reticle has to be selected for the purpose.
The ACOG crosshairs are fine for long distance, but will be nearly useless for CQB. They will also not allow the BAC to work, though not everyone can use that technique anyway.
If long range (500-100meters, by your definition) is the purpose of the rifle, assuming that you can get a mount to lock up tight, you are probably better served with a Leupold, either one of the Mark 4 MR/Ts or LR/Ts. Frankly, unless you have shot matches at 1000 yards before, you are probably choosing the wrong weapon, and with the ACOG, are definitely choosing the wrong optic.
Under what circumstances do you envision engaging a target at 1000 meters?
Among the ACOGs, IMHO, the chevron (not the triangle) is the best all around reticle. The donut reticle is best for CQB. Each has a purpose, none are superior at all tasks.
Just my .02, YMMV.
