Go with the Newt. I had a GSO RC08 and it drove me crazy; you need to have extreme patience with them but they can produce great results. They do not come supplied with focuser collimation rings and these are necessary for focuser alignment. Sure you can stick a Moonlight on it, but without the focuser collimation ring (an extra $100) you would be messing up the rotation ability of the Moonlight if you tried to adjust it in a fixed position to the secondary centre spot. Most people wind up buying extra collimation aids for the RC like the Tak Collimation scope (add another $230 or so for that), or a Howie Glatter Concentric Ring laser.
Newts, for most people are much easier to live with.
Of course the RC will give you long focal length that the f4 Newt will not. You could consider an f5 newt, and the GSO ones are fine and good imaging scopes, at a wonderful price. On an NEQ6, the GSO 10" f5 Newt might be a tad heavy for imaging depending on your camera imaging train setup.
