I'll add a quick response to this.
I have a CCD camera which uses the KAF-16803 chip on my large 14" RC. I get really nice smooth images out of it.
I also have a ZWO 1600mm, its a great little camera for my wide field.
At the moment from what I have seen. CMOS isn't up for large long focal length telescopes yet. Unless you want to sell your kidney to get a Gsense 6060 CMOS which has large enough pixels and Full well to match a CCD.
So for short FL telescopes CMOS is better is most areas. Once you start to get into long focal lengths CCD is still better over CMOS. Using Bin1 on CCD instead of bin 3 for CMOS gives you much better resolution.
