Guide Scope

Hi,


Just got my Skywatcher 10" Newt and the AZ EQ6 Pro mount, very excited. Now I need some recommendations for guide scope. I was looking at either setup listed below or is there a different better setup keeping in mind I need to keep the weight down and will be using a DSLR for imaging.


A. Orion Mini 50mm guide scope with Helical Focuser and either the ZWO 120mm colour guide camera or ZWO 120mm mini Mono camera?


B. Orion thin off axis guider with ZWO 120mm mini Mono guide camera and was told I also need the T-Thread Spacer Ring Set?


Colour or Mono guide camera? If I get colour, can I also use it for imaging? Or camera not good enough?


Also do I still need the Spacer Rings for setup A? Is the WiFi adapter a good investment for this mount and benefits?



Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers
Rod
