Have you considered an Off-Axis guider. Do a search in these forums on off-axis guiders and you'll find several threads in which they are discussed extensively. Also, have a look at the site of companies like Orion and ATIK both of whom make good OAGs. I have an Orion, a Celestron radial guider and a Lumicon OAG and I much prefer the Orion Deluxe.
With an OAG you have the advantage of eliminating flexure and you also can still use SBIG cameras with filter wheels because these sit behind the OAG. The newer SBIG's can take what they call a remote head which sits in the OAG in the same place that you would otherwise put a small guide-cam like a QHY5 or an Orion.
Hope that helps.
