I think you need to decide on what type of shooting you will be doing with this AR. No, the answer can't be "Everything....". Pick a specific use case and build up the blaster around that requirement. A Red Dot sight like an Eotech will give you much more flexibility in eye relief while shooting from funky shooting positions. With the 1MOA center dot you can still hit stuff with good precision at 200+ yards unmagnified. Add a flip up 3x - 5x magnifier and then you can easily reach out past 500 yards.
If you want to shoot tiny groups taking all day to do it from super stable shooting positions then get an LVPO. 1 - 6 or 1 - 8 is more than enough magnification for most reasonable targets within 600 yards. Also accept the fact that running an LVPO will require a much more refined cheek weld to eliminate scope shadow when shooting from funky positions.
Your best tool to determine which optic is best for your current skill set and use case is to run both setups on a VTAC wall through the varied shooting positions with an A/C Zone steel target at 100 yards. A VTAC wall will quickly expose the positives or negatives of each optic setup. Be prepared to embrace the suck if you make the wrong decision.
