Hi Kev,
I am a CCD guy and a member of CCD mafia ;-)
Experience taught me that we also need to consider light pollution. If you have reasonably dark skies, then modified dslr / single shot astro camera would be capable of delivering good data. There are plenty of beautiful images taken with dslrs on the net, but I would dare to say that none originating from light polluted areas are beautiful.
If you have significant light pollution in your area, then narrowband filters would most likely be needed for satisfying astrophotography, and that means longer exposures that in turn require a good mount and ultimately leading to a low noise high QE mono CCD.
Thank you for reading.
