Depends on the scale you're going to image at. If native F15, get the smaller pixel camera. If you plan on imaging at F30, get the larger pixel camera.
Very best,

Re: new camera advice
The latter would be best I think - higher fps for those bigger apertures...

Re: new camera advice
ZWO ASI290MM is an excellent choice for F/10-15 telescopes.
It also will work just fine with a focal reducer in the case of slower than F/15 scopes.
It is very fast and very low noise camera.
