Agreed, the zoom on a skygaurd throws off your ability to lead a target significantly. I use it only if i feel i'll need it to identify targets and spot them for friendlies. None of the visual unlocks are particularly useful for the skygaurd except maybe thermal for spotting mines.

Also nightvision has been drastically nerfed, players don't glow anymore (which was more to balance thermal because thermal was more expensive and had a smaller visual radius basically making it redundant). But they should at least up the brightness on nightvision because it just turns the blue-ish night haze green which isn't particularly helpful.

I guess what i'm saying is thermal will be the most useful.
