To anyone who has tried all these options...
Do you prefer reds, silent reds or reds with o-rings (for typing)?
Do reds with o-rings feel the same as silent reds but with reduced travel?
Have you tried silent reds with o-rings?
Is the reduced travel a good thing for typing?

I haven't tried silents, but I can tell you that one difference between O ringed reds and MX Silents is that the o rings only silence the downstroke whereas the silents silence both the up and downstrokes.
Silencing clips also do this too.

I prefer silent reds which are very nice, and smoother than standard reds.
I don't like very much orings because they're too soft.
Silent reds with o-rings don't make sense.

There's no such thing as a perfectly silent keyboard and silencing already silent reds would be a bad idea, it might dampen the feel of mechanical switch.
The cherry red switches are pretty light and a hair trigger if you're a heavy typer, I would recommend MX Silent Reds WITHOUT O-rings.

I will echo was has been said so far. Silent reds are far superior to reds with o-rings.
However, silent reds are hard to come by right now. Especially in Chinese-branded boards. The only boards I know of that have them are Vortex Pok3r RGBs, Filco Majestouch-2s, and WASD V2s.

The Fission brand boards on MechanicalKeyboards.com also have silent red switches:

Also Ducky Pro's (none on MK at the moment) have silent reds as well.

Isn't Leopold installing silent reds in some of their boards?

Yes they are, forgot about that one.
FC750R and FC980M. No FC660M yet for some reason.

For typing purposes have you tried Matias Quiet Clicks? I heard they're almost like blues but a lot quieter.

I have a KBP V60 mini with the quiet clicks, and it is pretty good. Not as good as a silenced Topres, mind you. About as quiet as an MX silent red. Of course its main deficiency is the paucity of good keycaps available for the switch mount.
