I have a Skywatcher green one, its quite effective as a finder, simple to use without straining your neck and others can see where you are aiming the scope. However there are downsides:
a) its totally unsuitable for use in urban areas (aircraft) or anywhere there are kids around - it is just too tempting and they will try to get their hands on it when you aren't watching and do something really stupid.
b) mine is also quite sensitive to temperature and laser action will not start if its cold - in winter I have to keep it warm inside my jacket.
c) when looking through the main scope you will see a big patch of green (the beam) so you end up turning it off and on frequently. It becomes a tad tiresome and I 'd sooner be able to leave it on continuously.
The red-dot reflective sights are just as effective as a find and don't suffer from any of the downsides.
