I use magpul flip up iron sights. Can still mount an ACOG or Eotech with these. They are super reliable and hard to break... This way when your scope fails, you have a contingency plan.
Forward grip isnt necessary but you can get a tacti-cool forward grip that doubles as a bipod if you like shooting in the prone
Get the forward grip if you dont know how to use a sling properly, they help a little but ARs have little to no recoil so its really about your preferred shooting stance

So, would you recommend just going acog and the flip up irons vs a red dot with a flip up 3x and the iron sights?
cant go wrong with acog and iron sights.
