Want to do large sky areas, you'll be happy with an image scale of 1.5-2.5. If however you want to resolve individual stars in cores of globular clusters, you'll want to be closer to 0.5 arcsec/pixel. Personally, I think image scale should always be the first place to start, you start with what you want your camera to do with your telescope.
As for one camera that I would go for, it would be the FLI-16803.

Yes FLI PL16803 is awesome. That is my primary camera.
I was thinking about using the subframing ability to have it take only a smaller part of the chip in those situations where I want galaxies etc. It saves on file sizes and processing time.
