I read that learning to use an abacus can help with one's own mental arithmetic...  anyone experienced this?  And any suggestions of a good abacus (type) to buy?   Thanks in advance..

I would probably agree that it gets you to think about numbers more.

I have a suanpan(2 top beads, 5 bottom beads), but think the soroban(1:4) would be easier to work with. More videos available and fewer extraneous beads to deal with.

There are ones with a bar to reset the top beads all at once, which would be nice to have, but wouldn't be a dealbreaker.
