Imaging preference deep sky
My preference is for refractors, ready to use out of the box, travel well.
An all round telescope should be one you can use frequently, so a focal length of say 1000mm or less means seeing isn't such a huge consideration, from 4-6 inches keeps cost to affordable, APO goes without saying, Somewhere from f5 to f7. I don't travel with mine but a scope of this size is transportable and can be easily setup by one person.
There would be many in that class, the TAK106 has a great following although I don't have one, but it would fit the bill, Id prefer something a little longer say 150mm F5 .....
Visual.......
No sorry, colored dots don't interest me, you need to GO BIG, but that's probably not within the parameters you specified.
