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.

Most harvests are under 300 yards and the typical 3-9x40 scope has a fixed parallax for 150 yards. I would leave a varaible parallax to roughly that same distance because if you spot an animal far away and they dont see you, you have a chance to get closer. Then the issue of parallax goes away. Source: ive shot shit from 60 to 300 yards, spot and stalk is my jam.
