Hi Alex.
If you want to do photography, then the 10" on EQ mount is definitely the preferred choice. The 12" lightbridge is a great scope too, with more light gathering, easy to move/transport, quick to setup etc, but I wouldn't think about doing too much astrophotography with it unless you plan on getting an EQ platform to put under it. And even then, you'd be limited to the moon and planets (and sun, with an appropriate filter). The lightbridge is also cheaper, so it really depends on your budget as well.
Bintel and MyAstroShop are both well respected, reputable companies so you won't go wrong with either of them. They both know their stuff and will give you the right advice.
I'd recommend trying to get along to an observing night or joining a club near you - after looking through the different types of scopes you'll be able to make a more informed decision.
Good luck and keep us informed!
