I went with a 3-9x32 ACOG knock-off that has a luminated reticle ... but my eyes suck. It was about $120 but I rolled it into a package deal when I got my 522.
For a cheap Red Dot I like the Barska M16 Electrosight. Its sorta ACOG-like in shape. About $70. I've had one on a .308 and it held up well. Got one on my Spike's Tactical dedicated .22LR upper. Works pretty good with a cheap UTG flip up rear (~$30) as a back up -- not a true co-witness as you are looking through the bottom 1/3rd of the sight to use the irons, but its sufficiently parallax free that the dot still works when you look through the rear aperture or above it.
