Reticles-

What reticle do you favor for mid-long distance shooting?
I would like to learn how to shoot up to 1000 yards; I really dont have much experience beyond 200-250 yards.
I am exploring optics and find my jaw hanging open at the number of reticle choices. I am not opposed to the latest and greatest (Horace?), but I also like the simplicity of a simple mildot. I figure if I can learn to use a simple mildot or MOA reticle correctly, then I have learned some very solid distance shooting fundamentals.
And that brings another question - MOA or MIL?
SO what do you use, and why?
PS - my platform is a 308 with a 20MOA base.
