Looking for advice - Narrowband Imaging with ED100

I'm thinking of doing some narrowband imaging this year, and would welcome any advice regarding cameras, guiding and accessories. My home in Melbourne has significant light pollution (Bortle scale 6-7), and I've been interested in narrowband for some time now.

This is the gear I have:
NEQ6, with belt mod
Skywatcher ED100 (900mm focal length, F9)
31mm unmounted filters:
Baader LRGB; Baader H-alpha 7nm, Optolong OIII 6.5nm

I've got some experience with planetary imaging and processing in LRGB with my 180 Mak, but have never used a guide scope.

I guess my main questions are:
Which camera (hoping to stick with my 31mm filters)
Do I need a flattener?
Is a guide scope/camera the best way to go for long exposures, or are there other options that might work with the ED100?

Any advice greatly appreciated.
Stephen
