I recently picked up the Orion 50mm mini guidescope + a QHY5L-II mono for guiding my AZ EQ6. I run it through PHD2. Only problem I had was installing drivers for the QHY5L-II on an old Win XP laptop. On a Win 8.1 laptop it works great. Plus I've got AstroTortilla working with it too, which works fantastically to get pointed where you want.
It's the first autoguider setup I've had, so take my recommendation with a grain of salt - but it seems to work well. Certainly never have an issue finding a star. I do wonder if a longer focal length on the guidescope could help though (it's only 162 mm) - not sure.
