Reflex or holo sights on a rifle?

First: There seems to be some confusion as to whether a reflex sight is a holosight sight.
Is the aim point projected on the optic holo because it floats and has no post?
Or is it "not" because you don't have 2 cross hairs to line up?

Second: I am considering mounting one on an AK47. Does mounting it over the receiver (with a side mounted rail) have any advantages over mounting it far forward in the scout position?

Third: Does mounting the sight higher then the iron sight adversely effect range and impact height?

Fourth: There seems to be 3 main choices out there with many cheaper (knock offs?) replicas.
Upon examining the name brand and the cheaper one I can find no difference.
Are they all made in China or are the innards different?
I want to get the cheapest one without compromising quality.

Here are the pictures of the 3 I'm considering. From least expensive to most.
