They're called priorities. Get yourself some.

My UMG has a simplistic Reflex sight on it. A simple aimpoint. I wouldn't give it an ACOG or something that tunnels your vision.

Yeah I would give it something small, low profile like a reflex.

I have something just like that on mine, albeit a different shape. That's what you want.

You want something 'boxy', like the shape of the gun, to conform to the sight so it doesn't look out of place. Something smooth and round like an Eotech wouldn't look very good.

But that's all looks. Functionally speaking, anything could work.

The UMP-45 (what this gun actually is) isn't a smooth looking gun. It's bulky and boxy. So the sight I have conforms to its shapes quite nicely. Albeit mine is cheap and rather tall.

In my opinion, this would be the best looking red dot for a UMP.

Reflex sight for sure.

Fast range acquisition and easy shooting. Much better improvement over iron sights

What Amos suggested couldn't be better. Go with that.

Why don't you go with what works best for you instead of what looks better?
Alot of LE tend to put Aimpoint's on, but Ive seen a couple pics with some EO techs.
It's all the operators choice.
An ACOG is for rifle, not submachine guns.
