If you are going up against guys without night vision or flashlights, you will have an advantage with gen 1. If you are going up against guys with gen 3, you're better off with a flashlight. If you are going up against guys with flashlights, you generally flip the NOD up as soon as white light is used, even with gen 3.
For NF specifically, stick to a flashlight. Night will be loaded with gen 3 units, and for an urban environment like Picton a flashlight is perfectly fine. The only scenario where NODs give you a big advantage is almost no light in dense brush where your flashlight hits a branch in front of you and you blind yourself instead of the enemy.
