First the mount, you should definitely spend that bit extra on a mount that you'll be happy with and one that can easily hold the rig. If you do feel you want to go cheap though, the Alt/Az EQ6GT will hold most of those visually without any issues.
As for the scope, I personally would take the Tak FSQ130 off the list. As good of an astrohraph that it is going to be, as far as I know it is still yet to be released AND there is a chance that you may not be able to use a diagonal with it due to not enough back focus.
If all you want is visual and have I real plans of doing astrophotography, I would suggest getting the biggest that you can comfortably move. I would also suggest getting a doublet because it'll be lighter and cool down faster than a triplet.
I personally would keep away from a large Mak-Cass because it is likely to have a LONG cool down time although it may have fans and stuff, not sure. Having a telescope that cools and climatised quick will be your best friend.
