I think that an ETX would be an exercise in frustration to use to photograph deep sky objects. It would be quite good for planets with a webcam as the imager however.
I don't think there is a simple cheap option for deep space imaging. I use an EQ6 with a 200mm vixen scope but a shorter focal length scope would be easier to start with. A ~80mm refractor and a digital SLR on as big a mount that you can afford would be about the best to start with. If you want to get a bigger scope in the future then the refractor can be used as a guide scope.
