Can we say that most of the time we are better of with dedicated CCD preferably cooled CCD over DSLR in the same price bracket.

CCD will cost you alot more, dslr is the best bang for buck. When you get into the 2K+ range though a dedicated astro ccd will yeild better results, though its very debatable as i've read a few reviews with ~3K ccd vs dslr and some people like the images the dslr's cmos produce over the dedicated astro ccd.

And mono will capture more data over colored CCD.

Yes you will see way better results because of how a color matrix works vs mono. You can still get very nice images with OSC's though a mono at the same price bracket will more then often eat it alive. So there nothing wrong going color and many many people use them and they are a great way to start and produce extremely nice images. The only problem with OSC systems is a dslr will more then often be way better vaule.
Heres what QE is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_efficiency because i'am not expert lol ill let you read it and see. Please remember that i'am no expert and just giving the best advise i can from the little knowledge i have, hopefully a veteran can rectify anything misleading or wrong.
In this pic you could say that relative response is where QE is though not in scale as this is in comparison of a 618ala

Basically if you had a sensor with 30% qe and another at 60%, the one with 60% would only need half the time to get the same exposure. I maybe wrong there on the time though it will get it faster, where are the dam experts lolz
