My 2 cents worth.
I think it's well established that under the same conditions and the same system, the mono camera will be superior to a colour camera.
Don't worry about the pixel size element so much - it's not like deep sky because you will change the FPS and Gain settings to suit the object.
A more important consideration is the effective F ratio you will end up with and the FPS that the camera can generate. The faster the camera in FPS the better!
Most planetary guys imaging with a C14 are using a 290mm or equivalent camera and a 2.5x Barlow - surf the web and have a look - the ALPO website is a good area to investigate.
If you have already been doing colour planetary work, go the next level to a mono - once you make the jump there's no going back once you see the results!
Clear skies.
