The type of scope you get will depend on what you want to do with it. Some will excel at certain tasks better than others. No single scope will do "everything" best. Decide what you want to do most and that will help narrow down the choice.

For instance will it be for visual use or photographic? Will it be for Moon and planets or DSO's (Deep Sky Objects)? If DSO's, what sort? Tiny galaxies or large nebula?

This is why some of us have a lot of different telescopes.
