For exclusively low light, simple is better and I'd probably opt for an SFP rather than FFP. For long range, I am a fan of the "Christmas tree" reticles: yes they may be busy, but the ability to place accurate and precise rounds without spinning turrets is a nice thing.

Add to that, when used at low power, the drop components are almost always unusable, but are also very non-distracting, they simply fade away - mostly.
Most of my hunting rifles also see long range work, so the scopes tend to be tactical scopes that do many things well. That said, I have a few stalking guns, and they all wear SFP scopes and are always carried at the lowest power. Seldom do you come upon a shot that requires lots of magnification AND very little time to set up the shot. The converse is often encountered (short shots with little time and long shots withe plenty of setup time.)
