Matching CCD Camera to Scope

I have been doing some reading on matching a CCD camera to scope, like this article:

http://www.astro-imaging.com/Tutorial/MatchingCCD.html

and Craig Stark's review:

and even Jeff's thread here on exactly what I am thinking of doing:

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/a.../t-131003.html

and tend to believe that something like the QHY10 would be ideal for my 10"(250mm) f5 (1250mm fl) imaging newtonian. Currently I am using a Canon 450d which has a pixel size of 5.2 um and this camera has served me well in the past (targets are mainly DSOs).

Is this a reasonable choice on my part (the QHY10)? I am looking to move to a cooled CCD camera in the next few months. I'd prefer the One Shot Colour based on my DSLR experience but is the Mono a better option for Ha, etc?
