From what i understood, the whole point behind ghosting is giving your muscles the short term memory of drawing the line. You mentioned you noticed that your ghosting is inaccurate. Maybe try to slow down your ghosting and so that its more accurate? I've noticed the more i rush my ghosting the worse the line comes out.
You are right. It looks like slower ghosting tends to be better ghosting, which leads to more accurate lines.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
