I think side saddle if you are going to equatorial mount them. Currently mount both ways - I ponder does the Meg 80mm on the Celestron 9.25" SCT cause a bit of stress, whereas the 5" MAK places no strain on the SCT.
I use Losmandy D saddle bar and plates - certainly advise don't skimp for quality of the bars and don't under mount your gear!
