You can still have a quick setup time with the eq mount for visual work.
As long as you don't change your azimuth and altitude settings, make sure your mount is level and place the feet of your tripod in the same position each time you set up, (place marks on the concrete where the legs are to go or sink a couple of bricks into the lawn at your leg positions) it should be no slower than using a fork mount. Modern gotos have a great ability to take into account slightly off alignment with their new pointing models and alignment setups.
I have had an LX200GPS 8" and Losmandy equatorial mounts using an Argo Navis and it was np either way. You do however have to spend time initially getting your eq mount setup right, but that is a one time only if you go back to the same position each time.
