Dear practo user
As long as you follow meticulous oral hygiene maintenance measures, anything is an adjunct, and not mandatory.
Watch your diet
Brush the correct way, there is no best brush
Rinse well, there is no perfect mouthwash
Floss, whether it's manual or water flosser

Hi. Electric toothbrushes are good as long as you understand that be it electric, or manual you still have to do the brushing yourself. So get an electric one but make sure you still use the proper brushing technique.
Mouthwashes are not recommended daily. They stain the tooth brown if used very often. So they should be used for 15-20 days and then discontinued. Then again use it for 15-20 days after a couple of months and then discontinue.
As for water flosser, you can go for philips, or oracura. Both are good.
