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've run a Meprolight M21 on my shotgun since 2018 and I've shot thousands of rounds in competitions with it. Never had an issue. Buy once, cry once.

I've killed every vortex I've put on a shotgun.

I have the triangle. It's pretty good.
