Default best hunting reticle?

I am going to buy a new back up rifle and scope for next year. I have been looking at the bushnell elite series scopes. I am curious about the different reticles offered. The "firefly" seemes to be interesting. Has anyone used one and if so could I get some opinions. There are a couple of other reticles offered and I would appreciate any comments. The rifle will probably be a 270 WSM.

I still think that the duplex style is best....IMO the firefly is kinda bulky of a reticle but if you like it after looking through it, go for it.

I'd choose the duplex too. With a duples, you can see to shoot before and after the legal shooting hours of most states.....so why bother with a reticle that lights up?
