ABG or NABG - Which?

I live near Houston, Texas. I've been somewhat inspired by some of Ed Graftons work in the same area. My viewing and imaging are primarily from my back yard (I built a small building with a slide off roof). I will primarily be imaging (in order of importance) galaxies, nebulas, globular clusters, and open clusters (for planets, I have a webcam). I have a 12" LX200 with the 6.3 and the 3.3 focal reducers and a 78mm f8 refractor.

I am seriously considering the ST-7E type cameras. As far as the ABG or the NABG models, which would best fit my applications? What are the main advantages or disadvantages?

Any thoughts are appreciated.
