Personally I do not like any of the red dot type finders, probably because with my bad eyes I can't use them (have to take my glasses off to use the EP but then put them on again to do anything else).
Big finder scopes mean weight, regardless of your mount you need to keep that in mind if you want to image at some stage. Imaging payload capacity for the NEQ6 is around 15kg to ensure tracking accuracy, and precision guiding - yes its rated much high if your visual only.
A simple achro refractor is fine, but do you need 80mm aperture? My advice would be to try and find one that could be used as a guidescope one day - you never know when you might want to get into imaging; so that means a finderscope that has a focuser (helical is ok). Good luck
