Scope vs Scope (What to choose)

OK, so i know apeture is king, but what about foal length.
I am looking at two scopes, SkyWatcher reflectors, both 150mm ap, but one has a focal length of 1200mm and the other 750mm.
The 750mm is more expensive so I am guessing that is the better choice.

I will be using it for deep sky viewing mainly, some plantary stuff and eventually strapping my DSLR to it.

So which would you choose and why?

Next question, I also have the chance to go for an Orbinar 200/800. I have not heard that brand before so dont know if the bigger appature is wirth the no-name risk. Any thoughts?
