I use an Argo Navis on my 16" lightbridge. I find it great, easy to align and then makes finding objects a breeze. Remember also that most of the spectacular objects are quite large so the longer focal length eyepieces will get the most use. Good quality in the eyepiece is where to get improvements in views particularly in the shorter focal lengths used for viewing the solar system.

There are of course the purists who insist that star hopping with a chart is the way to learn the sky.
