Burgess 102 Achro

Ok, it is between a Stellarvue AT1010 and the Burgess 102 that I've come down too. Both look to have great portability and still be more aperture than a previously owned Pronto. My question is, what would be the best mount for a 102mm refractor??? I was thinking a small EQ mount, but I saw a few guys with their TV 102s on Alt-Az mounts and it looked awful tempting.

Would a regular tripod be too small for something that size? I've seen the AT1010's on tripods, but I assume they are a bit smaller. How about something like the EQ2 or whatever from Orion? Thanks!!
