For visual of for imaging?
I have Planewave for imaging and have had a Meade scope. Not had a GSO.
From what I can tell - GSO have good optics but poor focusers etc. So if you spend the time upgrading them you can have a nice imaging machine. RCs are not great for visual.
Meade are mostly SCTs which are good for visual and planetary imaging. Not so great for imaging due to mirror flop. Also they tend to have largish stars in the image and a small corrected circle for the camera so only smallish cameras work with them.
Planewave is more high end optimised for imaging and they are very good. The promo says they are good for visual. I have a 17 inch and only looked through it a few times and it was not a good view. They show up the seeing more and perhaps the seeing was bad at the time.
