I have tried all sorts: probably the best "straight-through" one was 1/2 of an old Pentax bino, because it gave a correct image. I find the reverse views confusing, and I have never warmed to a right-angle finder, mainly because it is hard to get the feel of where you are pointing. Maybe a red-dot/telrad/rigel along with a right-angle one would be best for the neck?
In any case, I just use a Rigel Quikfinder or a red-dot now. The Rigel is good because it sits up well from the scope, so is quite easy to get your head behind when the object is high up. I am a foot taller than John, so the old neck gets quite a work-out at times (and the knees too!).
Generally I find the object is nicely within the field of view even if I am running at 100x with the scope, so I don't feel the need for a magnified finder at all.

All the best,

Dean
