Best offset mount and red dot combo for AR?

What's the primary optic, what will you be using the offset to shoot at, have you ever run an offset before: so many questions.
My ARs with backup red dots sit on top, I much prefer lifting my head a bit over tilting the gun, changing my firing position, and learning a whole new trick. Add to that, the top-mounted red dot is easy peasy when wearing NODs, the 45, not so much.
Job picks the tool, and you have not been specific on the job.

Primary optic is vortex viper pst 2x10x32 basically using the offset for 25 to 50 yds
The arisaka mount is great for a standalone offset. If you want an integrated system, the A419 mounts are awesome.
Another vote for the Arisaka...just went down this road and after a lot of internet surfing when with the Arisaka Defense Offset Optic Mount...but instead of a Holosun I am using a Vortex Defender XL and the set up is great. Good luck picking your perfect pair.

As others have said, the Arisaka is an excellent stand-along offset mount. For an all-in-one mount, I tend to lean towards the Badger Ordnance C1 mounts.
Go with on top. If it comes down to having to go 45 offset your close to fucked anyway IMO.
If you want, put these at 45 as they are bombproof.

The only thing I bought from T-Rex Arms was their offset mount. It is more like the height of your primary optic so it's just a rotation.
Athena Precision makes one that is adjustable and uses a gear type system to lock it into position. I have 3 of them. I run them for multigun and on my duty rifles. Top notch product and their CS is incredible.
