Thanks for the replies and information.
Sorry if this is another basic question, still trying to get my head around all the right things.

So for planetary viewing, i am better off going for a longer focal length rather than larger aperture?

I thought the larger aperture would give me more detail due to the more light it lets in.

So instead of looking at say the 10 inch dobsonian i might be better of going for something like the Cassegrain Telescopes,
Something like the Black Diamond 180/2700 Mak-Cassegrain, where it has a focal length of 2700 mm ?
Or this might be a tad over the top, but the Celestron C14
