Both can be good, it's a matter of personal preference. It can be annoying having to replace the battery in a red dot finder, especially when it's gone flat because you forgot to turn it off.
The right angle Celestron finderscope I linked to earlier is a nice unit. Right angle is easier on your neck, the eyepiece end can be rotated (has locking screws) and the weight on the back end of your scope will help with clearance between the mount and diagonal.
If you particularly want a RDF the Telrad is much nicer in actual use than the gunsight type RDF, even if it looks a little unfashionable
