I need a new finderscope. What should I get?

Hi,

Being relatively new to this hobby I am having some troubles aiming my telescope where I want it. This is in part due to it being very hard to see the cross hairs in my finderscope. Also I find it a bit difficult going from looking at the sky to looking at a magnified view through the finderscope (All those extra stars throw me off).

Anyhow I am thinking about getting a new finderscope and was wondering what people think. I have been looking around and have no idea whether I should get a red dot finder, an illuminated finder or perhaps look at getting a laser. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards Matt
