Rototillers are considered the most popular piece of equipment favoured by serious gardeners as it can literally lift and aerate the soil according to the specifications of gardening. This cultivator works with rotating discs or tines. The tines are those fork-like implement that can tear up the soil until it can reach the fine granule state. The discs rotate the soil and make it finer. Using one or the other is good enough, but using both can leave your soil super fine and aerated, your seedlings will just have fun digging in to root themselves.
If you are using a garden seeder, the rototillers are your best options as furrowing can be easier and there is not much need to push the seeds into the furrow too much. Also, the weeds would be uprooted so as not to strangle the seedlings as they are trying to establish themselves. If you are really going to use the rototiller a lot of times, then you should think of investing in one, but if you think that you are better off renting one of one time use, then you should do that too. The choice is really yours and it really depends on your needs.
If you really want a rototiller and yet the price is too steep to be able to buy a brand new one, then you can think about getting used tillers instead. However, they may not be up to your expectations as tillers are really much abused equipment and you might just be spending money on a dud. Keep your option open, check out everything before you make a decision.
Like any good equipment, you should think about the weight and the durability as well as the manoeuverability of your rototiller. You must be able to use it with your own body as the basis and not someone stronger than you are. If you are a petite and the equipment is heavy, don't buy it. It might be too much for you and you can get injured forcing the issue.
If you do end up with a rototiller and you may no longer have use for it as now you have seeded and you are just waiting for your plants to grow, maybe you can just rent it out or have your son have a summer job by getting hired out to help in other people's gardens. Simply because you don't need it for the mean time doesn't mean that it can be a liability.
