I like my Lowrance fish finder it is old but works well, and as far as fins for moving you around they all work but I like using dive fins. I am sure there will be more info from others soon.

It first depends on how much you want to spend. I'm too cheap and poor to bring high dollar equipment on my tube. I use a Humingbird 120 FF, super easy to attach. I'd like to upgrade to color, but probably wont till this one breaks.
I use Omega Flip Fins right now and I like them, but the jury is still out on whether I like them better than my old Force Fins. There is another big guy 260 pounds or so who posts here and he seems to like his Force Fins. Maybe he can chime in for ya.
Do a search on fins and you'll see a large group of Force Fin Fans and other recommendations.
