Don't rule out a Burris Fullfield II.  You could even go up to the Fullfield E1 in a nice 2-7x35.  That would be perfect for a .308.

My vote is for the Elite 4200, Best glass and Rain Guard!

4200 is a great scope for the money.....Japan glass, HD Raingaurd, etc

I have one on my .308 and haven't found anything better without doubling the price

I have both the burris ffll and elite 4200, the 4200 without a doubt is the better of the two

On your list is an easy pick.........4200. The glass outperforms the price, it is reliable and the Rainguard works great.
