Default Hold-over or gradiated reticles?

Who prefers what and why?

As more of a rifle shooter I actually have a preferrence towards hold over. I shoot enough, handload, and just know how to hold on an animal. I have a range finder, but am a pretty good estimator to 400 yds. Don't miss too often.

So, I am leaning towards holdover for a ML scope, I like Leupolds FDR, but have been looking at their LDR. (I mean LRD, or long range reticle) It basically has a duplex-type crosshair with a couple of ranging dots equally spaced below the center.

Any advise, experience, suggestions?
