Looks like your reading has paid off.
Your suggestions are all great and will not dissapoint.
Suggest you keep an eye out for 2nd hand ED80's. They com eup quit often and can save you a bundle. 2nd hand EQ6's seem less common but they do show up every now and then.
50mm finder with starshoot will do a fine job guiding the ED80. My suggestion is just buy a starshoot and then buy a 2nd hand 50mm finder which come up for sale all the time here. Modify the finder to use the starshoot. You will be a happy camper.
Doubt you will ever use the ED80 as a guidescope... but they have good resale so dont stress.
