An approach may be to accept that recovering from an unscheduled power down will be difficult and run your remote system on fully protected, battery backed power.
Another consideration with an EQ8 is that they can require a fair bit of worm clearance to work properly - not an issue if you are present to adjust loads to manage backlash, but will be an issue if you want it to work properly at any pointing angles. The Losmandy probably has similar issues (guessing) - I suspect that spring loaded worms or direct drive are almost a requirement for full remote.
