Default EQ Mount for astrophotography

Hi All,
After google bringing me here for most questions i asked it, id thought id join up and ask them direct. So here i am!

I was wondering if anyone can give me some advise on what is a good eq mount for astrophotography. I was looking at upgrading from my etx105 when i decided that instead of getting a semi good scope and mount, id get a pretty good mount and put the etx ota on it until i can afford to get a good ota.
I have seen some nice shots with an etx when piggybacked on other scopes so it should do me for a while.

The mounts im looking at are (and price range)
Meade LXD75 - AU$1,495
Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro - AU$1,799
Orion Atlas EQ-G - AU$1,699
Which one of these is better for astrophotography? Or is there other mount around the same price range that is better?
Thanks in advance.
