All roads seem to lead to the pro-edge in the end, however, sharpening on a wheel is a skill that can be acquired. I don't know the specific differences between the various makes that are available, but get one that offers a nice big wheel - the larger the better, and that doesn't run too fast. Small wheels will hollow-grind to a greater extent than is practical for woodturning, and a fast rpm will overheat the tool.
