Hi Alistair,
To be honest, I did not consider anything other than at some point I wouldn't mind using her scope to take some pictures. I didn't consider that the eq would be less "usable" than a alt-az... but you're right I guess... It would be clumsy to use for viewing. Than again, you'd just need to nudge it and it would be easier to use once aligned, surely.
But yes, the choice was made with a view to future photographs, therefore the need for tracking.
