I've had pretty much every type of red dot sight with the eotech being the one I like the best. Unfortunately, this is going to be a bit out of your price range so it's probably not an option. It is however more like a reflex sight than what I belive you mean by an aimpoint (tube type closed sight) Both pretty much do the same thing, but IMO the reflex sights tend to be the less obtrusive in your sight picture. I find the tube type, although more resiliant than the cheap reflex sights, harder to see your target in dark conditions and slower to line up your target.

Which one is going to be better for you is a matter of trial and error. You won't know till you try both. You can get both cheap reflex and aimpoint type sights on ebay for less than $40 inc shipping. My recommendation is to get both and sell the one you don't like for the same you bought it for.

Good luck.
