Hi,
I'll give you a summary of my experiences:
I have a 10inch solid tube dob. Which takes up my whole backseat, so its about the largest solid tube I could transport. It was about 150$ secondhand. When I am using a wide eye piece I dont have to nudge it too often (I dont even know because I do it subconsciously now, its easy to get to).
I don't have goto on my dob, I use a app called Skeye, which can be used in indirect mode, where its like a push-to goto, which I find works very well for me. It gets me very close to targets.
20mm GSO superview with camera adaptor 79$ which is what I use for deep sky objects. Great bang for buck.
7mm vixen + barlow for planets (might not not optimal...ill leave it to someone else to give you a good planetary recommendation).
I was intending this to be temporary scope till T outgrew it, but I've used it for about 2 years and still have a lot more to see with it.
