What camera

I have a GSO RC8 and have been using a full spectrum modified EOS 600D and want to move on to a better camera.

The folks at the place I got the RC8 from recommend a ZWO ASI1600MM Pro with filter wheel which is in my price range.

I have been told independantly that I should be looking at a camera with at least a 6u pixel size (the ZWO is 3.8u) to match the RC8.

Having looked for larger pixel size sensors I can only find either full frame size or much smaller than I have now - The RC8 has a maximum sensor diameter of 30mm.

I'm also not clear on the performance difference between CMOS (like the ZWO) or CCD - it used to be that CCD was far superior to CMOS but is this still the case?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
