I can highly recommend the SBIG St-8300 series of camera. Just work.

Atik has been VERY hit and miss with me, having has a 4000 and a 383. Neither seemed to work efficiently in MaxIM.

QHY has been a total DISASTER for me - from their QHY5 guide cam to the QHY9 - the QHY5 was a nightmare to try to get to work, and the QHY9 CCD was problematic.

ST-8300's pop up regularly enough, and at good prices. I got mine for $1200 posted. The newer STF's will cost a little more, but even new, I think they are still under $2K US (without filter wheel). the STT's are double that.
