You've got to choose what's best for you, if the backlit keyboard can be switched off for dark site visits, then why not? Even better if it lets you adjust the colour.
External drives can work...it all depends on resolution/frame rate that you intend to image at...to estimate, multiply the horizontal by the vertical (in pixels) to get the number of bytes required per frame, then multiply by the number of frames per second to get an idea of the throughput you'll need for any storage.
In reality, it's probably not as bad as the estimate, since when imaging Jupiter/Saturn/Mars you don't absolutely need a lot of dark pixels around them, so you can be "economical" if need be to keep your throughput under control.
