I have both Lyman and Marble Arms peep sights that i use on my rifles where they are not drilled and tapped. My preference is for Skinner sights on my hunting rifles (all 94AE's) and a Williams with target knobs on my 38-55 Silhouette rifle.
I don't own any Marlins so my experiences may be different to others.
I have used tangs sights on Winchester 1873, 1992 and pre AE 94's.
The Marbles are reasonably good units and the windage adjustment is great to have but the 3 Marbles sights i have here all have square edges which bite the hand during recoil if you're not conscious of where you put your hand.
On the other hand, my Lyman sights are nicely rounded and don't bite my hand at all. On the model 94 at least, the post is further forward which makes for more room behind the sight to grip the rifle normally.
The lack of windage adjustment makes zeroing a bit of a process but i would still choose the Lyman over the Marbles on the rifles that i have to use a tang sight on.
I recently tried the Skinner Barrel Mounted Peep on my 1873 and once i found the right combination of front sight and rear peep i am really liking how it works, so much so that i'll probably put the same sight on my 92.
