Need - no, should - yes. You could do it without one but your alignment is going to be less accurate and it's going to take you longer to achieve that worse alignment (1-2 hours vs 30mins).

Best suggestion I have is to get on with movable crosshairs. That will make your life a bit easier, especially if you don't have a top notch accuracy mount. I have the Meade one, one I bought about 8 years ago, so probably different to what's out there now. I doubt brand matters much as long as the functionality is there, the optics will be average in all of them I expect (and that's OK).
