Timbo,
Just saw you've got an orion laser mate deluxe collimator. As you can see that's what I use. I also use a Bintel reflector.
You really don't need anything else besides that laser to collimate your scope. Start by collimating the secondary mirror. This is done by ensuring the laser red dot is centred on the circle in the middle of your primary mirror. Once that is centred align the primary mirror by ensuring the laser dot is centred on the cross hairs on the actual laser collimator.
If you want good consistency in your scope I'd be collimating before every viewing session. While Bintel reflectors are very good they do tend to lose collimation easily just through the action of being picked up and placed down outside.
