IMO don't tie yourself down and keep your options open...pick a scope for each

One scope for visual - whatever takes your fancy. Don't get distracted by "narrow" fields of view, bigger scopes by necessity have narrower FOV than smaller ones, keep a pair of binoculars or a small refractor to hand for the largest/extended objects and sweeping the Milky Way...
One scope for imaging - small, fast refractor would be my choice. Gather data quickly and it's easy to mount.

The mount is most important if you're going to be imaging.
