Guide camera to use on EQ8

I am thinking about ordering an EQ8 mount and I want to select as a guide camera using ASCOM pulse guiding. The proposed setup is a camera feeding data to PHD through the 'telescope" setting, and PHD sending its data to EQASCOM which will modify its PEC corrections to the EQ8 mount. I specifically want to avoid the use of the ST-4 system directly to the mount as this will result in two sets of instruction going to the mount one being PEC adjusted instructions from EQASCOM (EQMOD) and the other being the ST-4 auto guide instructions.

Can anyone suggest the camera best suited to this job and what cabling would be necessary?
Thanks in anticipation,
Frank
