Welcome!
I have to agree with what's been said - deep sky viewing / photography has different needs to planetary viewing. Ask a dozen different astronomers which is best and you're likely to get a dozen different answers.
If you can, find a local astronomy club and see if you can go and try viewing through a few scopes before you buy. If not, there are dedicated companies like Bintel and Testar who will offer advice (with a view to selling you a 'scope) but ultimately it comes down to what you want to do.
If I may...astronomy is a bit like swimming; don't jump straight into the deep end! Start simple, build up your knowledge and skills, learn from the mistakes, and ask plenty of questions. The only dumb question is the one you don't ask!
