A KAF16200 camera for sure. I am currently imaging with a FLI ML16200 and its a great sensor. I have lots of images with it but none posted yet. Soon.
11002 is no good to you with those scopes. It requires a scope with a wide corrected circle and a flattener. No way the SCT will handle it and the WO FLT perhaps. It needs a 3 inch focuser minimum.
KAF16200 is the best all round sensor for most imagers. Its got a good field of view, low noise (the high noise remark is incorrect) its clean like a Sony sensor, fairly deep wells so blown out stars don't occur as easily and 16mps for that size sensor is quite high resolution. The pixel size means it matches the average persons seeing with an average focal length up to 1500mm. Your SCT will require larger pixels and they are only on full frame or above and it won't handle a sensor that large.
You can always bin the 16200 images on the SCT if the seeing is not good.
As far as which 16200 camera to get your choices are FLI, SBIG (both fairly expensive in AUD). Moravian and QHY. My choice would be the Moravian with the enhanced cooling.
If you wanted a cheaper option then QSI 683 WSG 8's are suddenly fairly common on Astromart for about USD$3,500. I think a lot are upgrading to the 16200.
