I can't compare the brands but I can say that I went with a SkyWatcher 8 inch Dob for my first scope a few months ago and am so far extremely happy with it. I did add the Lacerta 10:1 focuser upgrade however which is very nice. Quality wise I was very happy. So much so that I have another 8 inch F/5 on the way for Astrophotography.

I can't compare size against the 10" or 12" either but I will say that the 8" is surprisingly bigger than I expected and whilst it is easy enough to move around I feel that the 10" would be too cumbersome for me to take out of the home regularly.
