You will need good quality eyepieces because of the short focal length. Stay away from cheap wide fields. Most Plossls will work OK though.
Shimming around the centre pivot bolt will improve motions in Azimuth.
A Telrad is a good intuitive finder - you don't have to do complex spatial gymnastics from your star charts.
Speaking of which, good star charts like the Sky and Telescope Pocket Sky Atlas are important too.
Good collimation tools keep your views sharp.
