They should all be fairlyneasy to zero in. Both trijicon and eotech you can use flat head screw drivers or a coin to adjust the sights. Aimpoint and eotech will be the easiest for getting your eyes on the sight being they are both holographic/red dot styles unless you get an additional magnifier. The trijicon will take more time and will need to be placed further up or down your rails depending on how much eye relief you need.

My buddy who was a marine (best shooting scores in his platoon) swears up and down by the trijicon and does nothing but hate on my eotech. Im the opposite I wont/dont hate on trijicon but ill swear by my eotech.

Really boils down to if you want magnification or not. I have a flip to side 3x sitting behind my eotech so if I want the magnification ive got it. If I dont want it I just pop the magnifier off to the side. Trijicons dont require batteries, eotechs do but you should get a VERY long battery life out of each battery.. to the point where I wouldnt even take battery life into consideration
