My advice would be either a 8” or 10” Dob as some have already mentioned, bang for your dollars. I work on the KISS principle, a good first telescope is the one that is easy to setup and use, hence the Dob.
Secondly a set of good quality eyepieces, my personal favourite is a 17mm Nagler for DS viewing. The total cost of eyepieces generally outweighs the cost of your first telescope.
Good luck 👍
