Favourite reticle SFP

For me the reticle should draw your eye naturally to the center. So ones like Bushnell LRTS has, that are not symmetrical, are out. Makes no sense to me. I struggle with the BDC's I currently have. Hate them. Need something that can accurately give you fine hold overs for wind, and not too cluttered overall. Was just out shooting 718 yards the other day in a 6.5-10 mph wind at 2:30. My silly Viper horizontal dot is way too far to accurately hold over with any degree of accuracy. So I dialled the wind in.
For me, FFP of SFP need to draw your eye to the center, be uncluttered, have a way to hold for wind in the .2mil range. The reticles Jerry posted in the FFP thread are an example for me, of an easy to read, draw your eye to the center reticle.

The reticle should be suitable for the kind of shooting done. Hunters and target shooters often prefer very different reticles. For example, thin reticles are good for target shooting but less well suited for hunting.
I once looked at a used Leupold which had a straight tapered reticle, thick at the edges and tapering down to a very fine cross hair, which I thought would have been a great choice for a gopher gun scope.
Sadly, the market seems to have stayed away in droves, else it would still be available. CPC Reticle I think.
Some of the reticles are so covered in bits and bobs I am not sure whether I should be digging through the owners manual, or simply praying to it.
Rather be doing Algebra in Roman Numerals!
Looked at the Nikon bullet drop rimfire scope a while back, and while I liked the glass, and it was cheaper, decided I didn't figure I would ever really like the row of loops beneath the crosshairs enough. So I bough a Leupold instead...
