How rough are you on your gear, do you think you could make the scope fail or in the case of a red dot kill the battery by running it constantly. Not saying that its not possible to fail a scope because they do, but IMHO odds are in your favor the scope will do well. I don't run iron sights anymore given the choice, and most of my buddies don't run them. Once again its just what we prefer and what our experiences have pointed us towards when running our rifles. In the end do what inspires confidence in your rifle for you, who cares what the other guy does if you don't trust your rifle or don't feel confident with it, then odds are you will under preform with it. A wise man once told me that and it holds true for a lot of guys, and if it didn't then everyone would run the same setup. Have fun and put some rounds down range....
