best collimating tool?

Need some help/opinion on the best tool for collimating my new dob, laser or eyepiece? I'm considering the Cheshire tool as a first choice but would a well calibrated/collimated laser make life easier? My first real scope is on the way(along with the Monsoon as luck would have it) and I also have copy of Vic Menard's New Perspectives on Newtonian Collimation. on the way as well. But I want to know what makes for the best result in the way of collimating tools, one or the other or both?
At the moment I have neither but would like to purchase one or the other or both quite soon, Like tonight.
