Best EQ mount for a 10 inch GSO reflector?

I have a 10 GSO Dob and due to budgetary restraints, I can not really afford to upgrade too much. I'm fairly new to astronomy, and will probably want to do some fairly basic photography eventually.

I was thinking that putting my 10 inch GSO reflector on a go to mount may be a practical way to keep costs under control. (I am aware that Iceman has taken some outstanding photos this way.) Just wondering if an EQ 6 go to would be the smallest recommended mount for this kind of setup, or if an EQ 5 go to would suffice? Any alternativer ideas would also be welcome.

Thanks all.
