Go bigger if you can afford it and physically handle it. A bigger scope will bring more of everything. LP and star light. Filters for nebula's negate most of the light pollution for those objects.

Also, target choice is important when observing from light polluted locations. Go for objects with high surface brightness. Star clusters, binaries, planets, compact globular clusters, planetary nebula's and other bright nebula's with a filter. There are a few bright galaxies as well. But, you wont pull in much detail over the galaxies central core.
