Eithere of the scopes you mentioned should serve you well. I sold many Burris scopes when I was a dealer and they are famous for thier handgun or LER scopes. The 2X will give you more field of view and less of the moving around mentioned above. I always recommended the straight 2X to my customers but after you get used to useing them the variables are not to bad. I always prefered Fixed power scopes over variables because when they first came out which I am sad to say I remember, the variables were not very dependable and changed point of impact as you went from one power setting to the next. Thats not true anymore but I still like the fixed power scopes best. Good Hunting.
