For snipers, do you guys prefer squad sight or the one that lets you move and shoot? For my first sniper, I took squad sight, but probably 80% of the time, I still had to waste a turn moving him into position. Well, he's dead now (and he was a major, too) and I'm wondering which would be worth more for my second sniper.

it is very, very good.
I haven't used flush much, and the few times I did, it put the target right into some other cover. I've found rapid fire to be much more useful, seeing as my assaults are usually in close proximity to the aliens, and there are plenty of aliens that need more than one hit to kill.
