Thank you sailorsmom. The skunk and raccoons are approx. 3-4 months old and still with mom who was close by but because I am the skunk whisperer she was calm. lol

Hi Big-Guy,
Can I call you Pete, or Peter?
First off, it depends on how deep you think you might eventually slide into the Black Hole of sky shooting.

For me, I wanted to dive deep when I jumped. So I did a lot of research and decided to get a go-to mount so it could track an object for as long as possible.
Its taken me a lot of hours, and a ton of patience to get to where I'm pretty happy.

The mounts you mention are pretty good for Alt-Az tracking. And they depend a lot on your ability to set them up accurately each time. They will track reliably for a while, but not for a very long while. ("Whiles" being minutes to hours.)
So depending on your budget constraints, I recommend getting as much as can be stretched to, in as best as can be gotten.

For me it was as low end price wise as I could find in a Go-To Mount. Regardless of what I put on it.
Buy once, cry once. Which turned out to be Buy Once, get it fixed twice, live cautiously.
Of six of us here to get AVX mounts, 3 have had to do returns for repairs. A 50% failure rate in our tiny sampling is kind of disappointing.
I run mine strictly on a big 12 volt AGM battery since the second return for repair, and so far it has run flawlessly.

So if you are planning, or even not planning, to get sucked into the Black Hole of a$tro-imaging, consider stepping up with your mount considerations to a better base (mount) initially.

But what? If I had a do-over, I think I'd go HERE. For an example.
I know Ed (Nikonshooter) seems to be well pleased with his iOptron mount.

Early on, when shopping and researching I realized I wanted to bite the bullet and get a GEM type Go-To mount, instead of an Alt-Az type. Alt-Az is ok for visual, millions use them for that.
But you will find you will want a better (GEM, Go-To) for photography.

That's my opinion(s). Based on my limited experience, and frustrations.
