Your mount and camera choices seem good. I would also consider the QHY 268mc alternative as it has read out modes the ASI does not but ASI has a built in hub. I have an ASI290 for a guide camera and its by far the best guide camera I've ever used. Highly recommended.

As far as scopes go best to check images taken with each of them on astrobin to get a good feel for what they are capable of.

Esprit seems to have a good reputation. There are a few who are using the TS 130 Photoline as well. 10mm extra aperture is worth something too especially for galaxies where a small GSO RC seems to work better than an APO. 120-130mm is a bit small for that sort of work. You can pick up a GSO carbon fibre RC pretty cheaply 2nd hand so that may help get the galaxies you want to image or perhaps a 10 inch F4 Newt.

Greg.
