Agree about the center dot's Jordan. Really just started using more of them recently and really like them up close for target work or planting it on hide/fur at distance.
On lower power scopes for targets I really like a center diamond around a floating dot or a mil/MOA type reticle that has hash marks in even increments from the center that I can use to frame the circle on a target or a steel disc. Hunting we do, a #4 with an illuminated dot is my favorite but a lot of my hunting scopes are a simple duplex. Our hunting is mostly in close, in thick woods though. Hunting I’m rarely above 4-5x because that’s what I leave a variable set at. Normally no need or no time to crank it up.
