Not sure what they're like to use nor what you want to spend but:

- There have recently been two ONAG's for sale in the classifieds. I'm not 100% sure that it uses a par focal arrangement but others can confirm. If so you'd be eliminating guide camera focusing once you focus the imaging chip.

- SBIG make self guiding cameras. I'd assume (not used one) that they'd be parfocal.
