I'm using a multi stone (ie reversible) with 1000/3000 grit. This seems ideal for knives which are in reasonable shape to begin with.
I've just ordered a coarser stone (180/600) to make it a bit quicker to get the bevel back on a very blunt knife.
I'm not using an angle guide at the moment - it seems reasonably straight forward to find the bevel by sight and feel, and hold the angle. I'm no expert though - just working it out as I go along.
This guy's videos are quite instructive:
