For the difference of a few hundred bucks, I think the 8" Dob will give you the most bang for your buck. And the dob mount is the simplest mount to move around too. And, if you later decide you don't wan't to keep it, the 8" dob will probably be the easiest to sell. Or you could later get an EQ mount, put the 8" reflector on it and do some imaging....
But if you can get a look through some scopes in the meantime and chat with their owners, better still.
