Decent collimation tool to buy?

Looking to purchase one for a reflector.

Have read reviews saying a Cheshire is enough while others prefer going down the more expensive route and use the Hotech or Howie Glatter. Also seen some collimators flex when the focuser screws are tightened.

Got a few models I found online. Thoughts? Something to spend a lot on or put cash towards other accessories?

1) Orion LaserMate Deluxe Collimator ($109)
2) Orion Collimating Eyepiece ($85) / Skywatcher Collimation Tool ($60)
3) Glatter 1.25" tuBlug ($109)
4) Hotech 1.25" ($185) or 2" ($229)
5) Farpoint 1.25" Precision Laser Collimator ($149)

Thank you as always

Stefan.
