    It very much depends on dish you plan to motorize and what kind of mechanism (polar-mount) you have.

    I think that for 42e to 30w it is even possible to do with 12" actuator (not really sure), but in case if later you decide to get Horizon-to-Horizon than 18" would be better. So, 18" will do the job.
