Are you talking weapon or helmet mounted? We started out wearing PVS 7s back in the day, before transitioning to PVS 14s and L3Harris Technologies’ Fused Panoramic Night Vision Goggles (F-PANO) after 2019.
As for weapon mounted we used PVS 22s before transitioning to the PVS 27 and then 30s..
For around the farm I've had great success with the AGM Rattler CV2 clip on (I'm a clip on guy, I don't like a dedicated NV Scope on a rifle..) it's just logistically a pain in the ass on predator hunts carrying two rifles, sighting in separate, etc.

All jokes aside I'm pretty fortunate to have been able to try just about everything on the market, both weapon and helmet mounted.
Now that I'm funding everything myself I have an Argus 1431 and a loaner PVS14 for friends/recording NV footy. For lasers I primarily use a couple old PEQ-15s, but I have a few somogears floating around on the range toys that have held up surprisingly well.
On the Xterra I wired in a blackout killswitch and two Black Oak IR pods. Completely unnecessary, but it breaks up the monotony on beer runs.

Just your typical budget-friendly setup 
...
Set of DTNVs on a OpsCore FAST ballistic lid. Rifle wears a Trij Reap-IR with an ACRO on top to switch between NV and thermal. The business end wears a MAWL laser with a Modlite. Also have PVS14 as backup or handled. (All tubes gen 3 white phosphor) It's amazing how much your wife will allow you to spend when packs of Wild Hogs invade your property and destroy your landscaping.

I went the thermal route with a Steiner C35.
Peak male aesthetic
I’m a big fan of the MAWL. I’m looking forward to getting some reps down range with the EOTech OGL.Just your typical budget-friendly setup

Haven't gotten to play with one of those but I'd really like to get my hands on a DAGIR.
