The EQ3 should hold the 80ED nicely (maybe even overkill). And since you said that you like a little bit of everything then scratch the SCT's and the mak's off the list. I myself have a Orion 80ST (non apo) mounted on a photo tripod and use it quite a bit. While it does not give as bright views of galaxies as my C6, I find I can still see heaps in this little scope. Plus bight and large objects look very pretty in this scope.
