Default RE: (super-noob question) which brand to start?

I have an Omega and an NEF both with Simmons 1.5-5 prodiamond shotgun scopes. I really like the scope and the prodiamond crosshair helps me with a limited sight problem with my right eye. I have a blind spot exactly on the focal point of the eye so the diamond helps to center the crosshairs. I have had shots in the woods and with it on 1.5 it is as good as iron sights for me. The price is all over the map but you can usually find a sale for around $60. I searched several sites and finally landed on Sportsmans Guide for $39but the scope turned out to be the one with illuminated reticle and the rear of the scope is too large to work without going to maximum high rings on the Huntsman to clear the hammer. I sent it back and paid a little more but got the correct one finally. I think it was about $56.00.
