Buy recommendations 12 Gauge optics

Wondering what kind of optics people have had good luck with on their shotguns. I know many will say the standard irons or beads are all you need, but I'm looking for an upgrade, and I'm torn between Utg pro flip ups or an actual red dot...for the latter, what would hold zero consistently but also not be silly on the price end? I am aware you get what you pay for, but I'm always for paying less (or reasonable) for quality.

I threw a bushnell trophy on my 14" 590 shockwave (with magpul buttstock). It handles slugs just fine. But im also not one to drop 500$ on a sight.

See that's kinda me. I'd rather spend the money on more guns lol. But I also don't want to buy a piece of junk that won't stay zeroed after 10 rounds. I'll check out that Bushnell, thanks!
