Hi Greg,
I have a 12"skywatcher goto dobsonian, I would recommend if you aren't going for an exotic option. Excellent value for money, I also have a 12" GSO f4 for imaging, while not a dobsonian, the build quality in the skywatcher is light years ahead. I also do my planetary imaging through the dob - they can track pretty well if you are level even for long FL planetary (I add a 5x televue).
I also assisted a friend setup his 8" version of the same SW and that too was giving surprising detail on Jupiter.
Cheers
Russell
