Aimpoint longest battery life and light. Check out Nutnfancy reviewing both.

I have two EOTechs, a 512 and an EXPS2-2. I love the reticles, and the speed.

I am going to purchase an Aimpoint PRO soon for my third build. There's no denying the battery life of the Aimpoints - EOTechs use a laser, EOTechs use an LED. If battery availability were an issue, I would certainly want an Aimpoint. I have enough lithium AA's to last for quite a while, so that's not an issue for me. The ability to leave the Aimpoint on constantly would be a bonus if I might need to respond in a split second, but that's not likely in my home - with neighbors and over-penetration issues, my AR is not my middle-of-the-night-was-that-the-cat-or-a-home-invader gun. The -2 BDC reticle is more useful for me, and the 65-moa circle gives the EOTech some additional rangefinding capabilities.

As Kris79 said, they both have their uses.

I have both Marlins and Winchesters, have owned both Fords and Chevys, and will own both EOTechs and Aimpoints. But I do draw the line somewhere - it's Zippos, not Bics, and my liquor is made in Kentucky, not Tennessee.

both are great sights, comes down to personal preference really. handle them both and see which one you like better. aimpoint does have better battery life though
