Hello Sebastian,
I think that Goto is an absolute must (unless you are very conversant with the night sky). Whatever else you do, a goto mount will get you started.
And one really good eyepiece with about a 30 arc minute field of view will get you seeing things that will keep you wanting to look. I have a Meade UWA 18mm on my 8" LX90 and it is just magical.
The other really good thing is a video camera with frame accumulation (e.g. GSTAR, Watec, StellaCam, Mallincam). These things will revolutionise your imaging. I can't say that too much. If you don't have a serious observatory (I don't) and you don't have seriously good cameras then video gets you around the hassles. They won't do everything, but they sure do a lot more than I ever expected.
Disclaimer:- I am still learning myself.
Regards,
Tony Barry
