I am thinking of a ultra basic EAA setup:
- 100mm Manual Dobsonian
- ZWO Asi 224 or 120 mc
(3. Any other accesories under £20)
#The most basic EAA setup idea

EAA is underrated. I think the 224 will be much better than the 120 for EAA, but there are other more modern cams creeping in to that price range. Make sure your mirror is parabolic, not spherical. You’ll have much more fun with 130mm if your budget can stretch to it.
I know you’re looking at the most basic setup but goto is a must imo. You’re going to want it eventually so consider your upgrade path.

Another slight possibility (very slight) is that I may strech my budget to a 114mm virtuoso and an ZWO Asi 224, how would that compare to the above setup?

Personally, I think it would be ok. I don’t have any experience with the virtuoso mounts and how accurately they track.
This is the field of view you’ll get with that http://astronomy.tools/calculators/field_of_view/?fov[]=387||266||1|1|0&messier=27
