A C9.25" will ride comfortably on your proposed mount, and even on a Celestron AVX, both for visual and for imaging.
Using a high frame dedicated planetary camera is the best way forward to do planetary imaging (along with a good quality 1.25" Barlow to achieve the necessary long focal length).
A key benefit of the C9.25" is that it is the only one in the range with a primary having a focal ratio of f2.5 - the rest being f2. This results in the C9.25" having the reputation of consistently better optics than the rest of the bunch as figuring a f2.5 mirror is easier than a f2 mirror.
I was at a friend's house last night observing from his C9.25" actually - on the AVX and we went through about 40 objects in just under two hours. The mount performed flawlessly.
As for planetary, he has used his C9.25 lately for Neptune and Jupiter - again, no issues with the mount.
