A right angle finder is very popular. Just make sure it’s the right angle errect image one and not the cheaper right angle one.

Either the 6x30

Or the 9x50

The red dot finder is not great, but as your scope has GoTo you only need to use it at the beginning of your session. 

If you want to change it to an optical finder there is planty of choice, but you may have to do a bit of work to figure out how to attach it to the 6SE tube.  If you don't get a Celestron finder that has a shoe that bolts straight on, you should still be able to find a shoe that will attach to two of the screw positions on the rear casing and accept a Sky-watcher finder.
