I like the red dot finders on the budget Orion scopes - Orion EZ Finder II Reflex Sight. The StarPointer found on cheaper Celestron scopes are useless. I have a telrad and prefer it above all else, its handy having a ring at times instead of a dot which can cover up a target and make it difficult to know which direction to move the scope if its not in the eyepiece. Very easy on the eyes to use.
You might be able to repurpose your finderscope with a guiding cam in the future or find a red dot and finderscope together can work well for you at times. Plus you might need it if your red dot baterry goes flat. The only downside to red dot finders is they are silent and dont light up, you have to be looking through them properly to see the red dot, so once you turn your attention to the eyepiece you quickly forget to turn off the red dot finder, so its easy to leave them on and flatten the battery. Wish they beeped or automatically turned off.
