Buy recommendations SFP vs FFP for Hunting

Setting up a rifle specifically for hunting but all the scopes I have are first focal plane.

Aside from the reticle differences, does the adjustable parallax of the FFP scope drastically hinder the hunting experience, or is it becoming more common to use these?

I'm looking for a 3-15 option and there are more appealing scopes with FFP.

Lots of SFP models have parralax adjustments.

I use both for hunting; really depends on the rifle and where I'm hunting. The only thing I think is important if looking at FFP for hunting is getting one with an illuminated reticle. Those crosshairs are really fine at the low end of the magnification and in low light scenario's the illumination is really nice to have.
