At a glance, Red Dot and Holographic sights are pretty much the same thing.

In functionality, the Holographic sight causes way less bullet spread on certain guns than the Red Dot will. You won't see the difference it makes so much on a gun like the FAMAS, which is already extremely accurate, but you most certainly will see a difference on a gun like the M-16, where the bullet groupings are much closer together, at a distance, with the Holographic than they are with the Red Dot.

I'm not sure which of the Automatic AR's would benefit the most from Holographic versus Red Dot, or visa versa, but it is worth playing around with to find out, depending on your play style.
