I'm not a fan of open sights for the very reason I can't see clearly out very far when using them. I never tried the red dot stuff, so I don't know if I would like it or not. I consider myself a hunter first and don't really care for shooting guns. It's just part of what it takes to be successful when out hunting.
I went with the Nikon scope for my wifes AR. It was on sale for $99 at Academy when I bought it.

Red dots are great or hunting too. They are fast, and allow you to keep both eyes open for tracking running game. Give one a try.
