Which would be better to use, Telrad or one of those lasers attached to the scope which throws the beam into the sky when aligning the scope to an object. Seems to me the laser would be easier.

The short answer to your question is the Telrad. However, some folks, like myself prefer the Rigel "Quick Finder" which is essentially a Telrad-type finder in a smaller, easier-to-use package with most Telrad options included as standard. It is especially handy on smaller scopes.
