Sorry im making my 8inch telescope, I assume that it is EQ6, im not sure which is the best, if you have any advice, thats good be great.

the EQ6 has fully enclosed motors, you can't buy it without a motor drive.

the only mounts for which motor drives are optional are the Vixen GP/GPDX class, the old Celestron CG-5, the Orion Sky View Pro, and the "lesser" mounts - EQ-1 to EQ-3 / CG-4.

None of which (except for the GPDX and maybe GP/CG-5) can really adequately carry an 8".

Or do you really mean a mount, and not the motor drive for a mount?

In which case yes the EQ-6 is a good choice. McGill used to sell some for $2200. A very good price, new. Not sure if they still have them at that price.
