Question Asking for advice about a Spotting Scope for Hunting

Hi guys and happy hunting! I am thinking to purchase a spotting scope for hunting (maybe wildlife watching) and I was wondering what features are the most important?

Do you prefer a lens diameter of 80mm or 60mm?

Should a angled one or straight? Will the 20-60x magnification be enough?

One friend sent me this photo with his 3 spotting scopes. As you can see the middle one has the focus ring around the scope and the other 2 have it on top (much smaller focus knob). Which one do you prefer? Is there any difference?

What about the eye piece diameter? Is it better to be larger or depends on your eyes?

If you have any tips about spotting scopes, I would be more than happy to learn. Thank you very much, I truly appreciate it!
