Go three pins whatever you choose.

Spot Hogg - too big of a housing and heavy (unless you spend $$ for a boonie), everything else rock solid
MBG - everything is good except I think the dial wheels are hard to turn and not smooth
HHA - best all around just wish they had a 1st axis adjustment

I've owend:
Spot hogg hogg father
Spot hogg fast eddie
Spot hogg tommy hogg
Hha Ryz
Axcel landslyde

With those I've had 5 pin scopes, 3 pin, double pin and triplestack.

Hands down I would recommend the double pin tommy hogg. The tommy is a much better sight than the fast eddie but seems to fly under the radar.

My preference is the double pin. Clean sight picture. My tape usually lands 25ish and 40. So for hunting 30 and in I can put the top pin on the animal, gap between 30 and 40. If I have to the top of the level is 50, and can of course dial.

I was using a black gold 5 pin slider. Last year I switched to the Spot Hogg Fast Eddie XL triple stack. I really like the vertical pins in the spot Hogg.

As others have said the top 3-4 all pretty good.
Axcel, MBG, SH, HHA. I dont mention Ultraview because haven't tried but at that price I want a lifetime warranty.

I started with Black Gold multipin but I HATE there dial and there sight tapes.
I love SH and HHA dials and tapes. But not as fond with there pins or weight vs the MBG.

Option Archery is good too. As I've gotten older and spent way to much money on sights I always end up back at MBG.
There pins, photochromatic shell, weight and simplicity fit my style. I've never had one fail me and in almost all hunting situations I haven't had to dial using the dual trac or 3 pin mountain lite. (This is all based off Whitetail hunting only).
I did notice I acquire targets faster and settle pin quicker with double vertical pin, less to think about and I'm more accurate, but these are all my experiences. I hunt saddle and public land, so by the time I get in tree I'm lucky to have a lane past 40 yds.

I still bounce between 3 pin mountain lite and dual trac. I got rid of all the micro adjust because I've had buzz. Hell this year i through a fixed 3 pin on because of a shoulder injury I couldn't get in long enough shots consistently to hone in on a tape. Dr. Just cleared me for shooting 3 weeks ago, had to dial bow back to 50#.
Practice, learn equipment, muscle memory, pin gap, know distances, there all solid sights by outstanding companies that have great CS.
