I'd opt for this.
I frankly don't understand those that opt for low variable optics on 308s.
To me, low variable optics belong on a 556 - and exceptions can certainly be made with a 556 as well that justify far more magnification.
I guess I just base my opinion off of what my intended use of a semi auto 308 is - a 500 plus yard purpose rifle (even a 200 plus yard purpose rifle).
I see little reason to ever run and gun with a 308, or need the ability to quickly and rapidly acquire targets at short distances with a 308 - a 556 will cover all of that and then some for next to every practical purpose (beyond hunting large game).
For me, a semi auto 308 is used in scenarios where I am able to take my time to acquire a target, and can reach out and touch something - magnification is your friend there. You can always offset an RDS or BUIS if you still want the ability of quick close quarters target acquisition as well.
