First trust has a lot of actively managed ones that are pretty good. FVD is their dividend growers etf. I only use them for equities- I like active management for fixed income so I use mutual funds.

A monthly purchase into a s&p500 etf won't ever be exciting, but over time you'll beat 99.995% of the day traders and 95% of the mutual fund managers.
