The 8" dob is a great starter scope. There are a number of variations.
Saxon and Skywatcher are both made by Synta. Saxon is the cheaper version. As also stated earlier the Bintel scopes are rebranded GSO ones.
When looking at Bintel vs Andrews there are a couple of things to remember. Andrews will simply ship the boxes as they arrived from Taiwan to you, that is not a criticism, I bought my 12" from Andrews while I believe that Bintel check and assemble the scopes before shipping.
When looking at price consider the accessories, usually the differenes are in the eyepieces supplied, but bea in mind it is unlikely you will use any eyepiece shorter than 15mm much if at all!
