I've used both and feel for your shooting distance mentioned either will work great. For close in shots, moving shots in thick veg it's really the best for me.
Tube style red dots are best when you don't have the best fit for cheek weld ... scope to eye alignment, they are easier to find your dot.
Recently I put a reflex on my Patriot due to my state regs taking magnifying scopes away from muzzleloader hunters.
That little reflex fits perfectly for my cheek weld, it's just like using the irons for this rifle only much faster with target acquisition.
No red dot or reflex is true parallax free, despite what's advertised! Like you say, they have a set distance that is the best they can get parallax free. Deviate from that distance and you will see it.
For this reason I recommend you pay close attention to parallax on whichever brand or type of dot you try. I have used an Aimpoint 9000sc for many years, first on my LHR Redemption, it's now on my predator shotgun for those close fast action situations. I've taken elk at over 200 yards and deer at nearly 200 with my LHR and that Aimpoint. Groups certainly open up a lot at distance not having any magnifying aid in aiming. Orange bull was at 50 yards and the other at 100 shooting the same loads. The 100 yard group was just shy of 2" for reference.
