10 inch Newt, what F ratio - F5? That would make it 1250mm focal length.
At that focal length just about camera works fine. Sony 694 4.54 microns. KAF 8300 5.4 micronsKAI1100 9 microns , KAF16200 6 microns, KAF16803 9 microns.
I think you chose more on the field of view and the QE (sensitivity) of the CCD and the cost. CCD cameras are very expensive.
Those are the names of the sensors I listed and they are used in various brands like SBIG, FLI, Starlight Express, Apogee, QHY, Moravian, Atik.
The less expensive brands are Atik, QHY, Moravian and the entry level SBIGs. Starlight Express are the next cheapest and then the others.
The ASI1600 may be good too but its new to the market and is probably going to be used in a different way to the others so you may not want to be part of that learning curve when starting.
A QHY9 seems popular, that uses the KAF8300 sensor which is the most popular sensor and is pretty versatile for many scopes.
