If you could choose only between the Eotech 517 and Trijicon RX30, which would you choose and why?

Trijicon ---- because it is always turned on.

Depends on circumstances.

Mostly Trijicon.

 I could live with either, but the need drives the gear.  

 Maybe the RX30, just maybe.

 If EO Tech had battery life more like an Aimpoint...............

In a pinch, when a very quick shot is needed, EoTech, for me, is the fastest optic I've used.  Easier to grab that big dot and squeeze than find the little dot when the target looms large.

But maybe it's just me.

I would not run either.
 
I think aimpoint is just nicer than both though.  trijicon makes nice stuff but I am not a fan of the rx30.  I would not like a 6.5moa dot.
 
I prefer an m3 to both though hands down.
 
if I had to chose between though I would get the eotech as it is cheaper and has a finer dot.
