If you're looking at astrophotography then either of the equatorial mounts (C8 SGT or VX8) would be better, however 200mm F10 is a realtively long FL 2000mm and you may find that a bit limiting, given the price of the OTA's alone, the mounts aren't going to be anything flash.

You may be better to look at a separate mount and OTA, e.g. an EQ6 and ED80 (around 500mm focal length with FR) would be well under the price of any of your selections and would allow for some necessities such as focal reducer/flattener guidescope and autoguider.
