Are night sights really needed?

When you're buying a Glock 17, more often than not you can only choose between the terrible plastic factory sights and the trijicon night sights. If those are your options, go for the night sights. Those plastic sights are awful if you use a holster. They get so banged up and deformed, it's kind of a joke when the rest of the gun is so well engineered.

Pretty much the only part of a Glock that should be replaced/changed are the sights, everything else is functional and can be trained around even a NY2 trigger, the factory sights however, are crap. I'd suggest a TFO front with plain black rear - Brownells has dozens of variations.
 
I was thinking of changing the front sight of G17 from a trijicon night sight to a red fiber optic sight. Its mostly for indoor paper target shooting. Any suggestions? Would a different front sight line up with the rear trijicon properly? To the op...the trijicon lamps don't really show up indoors like the ad pictures would have you believe.
