I am getting ready to outfit a new AR

I am setting up a Colt 6721 (M4 Heavy barrel)
I am running an Ace Socom stock on it and thinking of running an Eotech on this one for my first Eotech.

I am not sure what I am doing with sights yet.
I am running a Larue 7.0 rail system.

LaRue does not make a folding rear sight or front yet.

Do I;

1)  Go with the LaRue Back up rear sight and the stock AR sight with the eotech & Cowitness it all

2)  Get a folding front and rear and just go with the eotech alone

3)  Folding rear and just co witness the eotech with the regular AR front sight?

Id love to hear with those of you who have experience with the Eotech.  As I said, this is my first Eotech.

LaRue EOTech mount; jack it up a little bit to get 1/3 co-witness. Whether you want a constant co-witness or a flip-up rear is personal preference.

i have an eotech on my A2 mounted scout style on the samson rail co-witnessed with the std front/rear sights and it works great, no spacers needed on that.

i also have an eotech (or sometimes an aimpoint) on a colt tactical carbine flat top with std front sight and a GG&G flip up rear, also no spacers needed, and co-witnesses just fine.

i think i probably prefer the rear sight to be up and co-witnessed vs down out of the line of sight, but it works either way, i think i am a little faster on target with them up, might just be me though.
