With the gear you list you would probably have to consider starting with a fresh camera (from SBIG) or using the SX AO unit as the SBIG one only works with Sbig cameras/guiding systems.
As for the issues with star selection, to get the most out of AO units from what I have heard you may have to frame your image where there are suitable guidestars and this may involve camera rotation which might be a pain. I believe Peter Ward dosent do too much star chasing for his AO, but he is also using a 12 inch f3.8 which will gather more starlight than your scope and f3.8 gives the guider a fairly wide field of view to sample.
