I have tried Telrad, RA and straight through finders and a green laser. Now only use the laser and the RA finder. Very quick, easy to move from scope to chart and back, neck is never craned.
The other thing I have done is build a little rack to hold my main eyepieces and invested in dew controllers. Have enough straps to handle 4 EPS, a secondary heater, heaters on objective and EP of the finder and 2 straps wrapped around the laser pointer (they don't like the cold, anything under 10deg C and they stop working). There is nothing worse than dew!!
Also have a Bintel observing chair and a little portable table for my charts etc. At star parties I have a toilet tent that I put my table and charts in, and at the end of the night I put it over the scope.
