I always liked the ACOG for longer distance shooting. Without glasses I can't even see a 300 meter target with Iron sghts, forget about hitting it. but my vision isn't bad enough to wear glasses all the time, and it was hasssle wearing them while humping a ruck. So I used the ACOG. and it worked well. But for close range, instinctive shooting an aimpoint works better.
You lose the problem of magnification in one eye and not the other. Sight pictures easier to aquire. With practice, and a good zero, you can hit 150-200 meter targets. but close in you'll be faster and more accurate with an aimpoint.

It's also important to have a sight that allows you to shoot while moving. too many people walk, stop and shoot, then walk again, It's a technique but if you you'll have an advantage, and be harder to hit, if you don't have to stop.

Remember, you're only as good as your first shot.
