Help me choose a ZWO Camera for my C8

Hey All,

I gather I'm not the only newbie asking this question. I'm in need of some advice as I'm starting to look at camera's to suit my needs and to match my evolution8.

My requirements are;
- Primarily I want to use this camera for Planetary images
- Have the ability to dip my toes into DSO for the interim on the AZ mount
- Have the capacity to be a guide camera in a DSO setup
- My budget only allows for $500-$550 just on camera
- Would prefer to stick with ZWO as its widely used in the community
- Colour or Mono is not an issue. I will be going mono with a DSO camera in future

Down the track the camera will be used as a guide camera after getting a more suited DSO camera and a EQ mount.

Searching around my options looked to be:
ASI120MC-S
ASI224MC
ASI290MC
ASI290MM
ASI462CM
ASI385MC

Please let me know if I have missed something to think about.

Cheers
Wayne
